Did you know that in 2020 alone, Starbucks sold a whopping 200 million units of their Instagrammable Pink Drink? π€ This sugary sweet concoction has taken the world by storm with its vibrant color and delicious taste. But I’m here to tell you that there’s a way to make your very own version at home that’s not just delicious, but also low in calories! π
So, pull up your sleeves π¨βπ³ and let’s get started!
First off, you’ll need some fresh π strawberries. And I mean fresh. No frozen strawberries or strawberry jam. We want the real deal here. These delicious red gems π are not only full of vitamins and antioxidants, but also lend that beautiful pink color to the drink.
Next, grab some green tea bags. Green tea π΅ is a personal favorite of mine. It boosts metabolism and helps in weight loss. It’s a win-win! Plus, it adds a unique flavor to our pink drink. Go for organic if you can. Believe me, your body will thank you for it. π
Now, I want you to scoop up some acai berry powder. This superfood is packed with fiber, π helping you feel full longer. You’ll need only a teaspoon of this wonder powder. It’s pretty potent, so a little goes a long way. π
For sweetness, let’s go natural. Raw honey π― or stevia πΏ can do the trick. If you’re vegan, you can also opt for agave nectar. But remember, moderation is key. We don’t want to overload on sugar now, do we? And last but not least, some unsweetened coconut milk. This not only adds a creamy texture to our drink, but also gives it a tropical flair. π΄
Now, let’s put π₯£ all this together. Slice up your strawberries and drop them into a large jar. Then steep your green tea bags in a cup of hot water for about 5 minutes. While it’s cooling down, sprinkle your acai berry powder over the strawberries and stir it all up. Once the tea has cooled, pour it into the jar. Add your sweetener of choice, and top it off with the coconut milk. Stir, stir, stir, and voila! Your low-calorie pink drink is ready. π₯³
You’re going to love sipping on this guilt-free version of the popular pink drink. π It’s so good that you’ll forget you’re actually doing your body a favor with each sip. The tangy strawberries, the earthy green tea, and the creamy coconut milk create a beautiful symphony of flavors. π
In my experience as a weight loss coach, π¨βπΌ I’ve seen so many people fall into the trap of drinking their calories, especially in the form of sugary drinks. This homemade pink drink is a game-changer. It’s delicious, nutritious, and low in calories. Plus, you know exactly what’s going into it. So, you can enjoy it without any guilt. πͺ
