Description
A caffeine-free, budget-friendly homemade version of the Starbucks Pink Drink that is ready in just 3 minutes. This vibrant, creamy beverage uses passion fruit juice, coconut milk, and freeze-dried strawberries for an authentic taste and color.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup passion fruit juice (nectar or concentrate)
- 1 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup ice
- 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries
- 1–2 tablespoons simple syrup (optional, to taste)
- 2–3 tablespoons water (optional, for consistency)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Crush the freeze-dried strawberries into smaller pieces by pulsing them in the blender for 5 seconds or crushing them by hand.
- Add the passion fruit juice, coconut milk, ice, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, simple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender.
- Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until the ice is completely crushed and the mixture is a uniform, vibrant pink color.
- If the mixture is too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of water and blend again until smooth and pourable.
- Taste the drink and adjust sweetness with more simple syrup or tartness with a splash of lime juice if desired.
- Pour into a chilled glass and garnish with extra freeze-dried strawberries.
- Serve immediately while cold and slushy.
Notes
Use canned full-fat coconut milk, not carton milk, for a creamy texture. Freeze-dried strawberries are essential for the authentic pink color; fresh strawberries will turn the drink grayish-green. Chill glasses beforehand to keep the drink cold longer. The drink is best served fresh as ice will melt and dilute it over time.
