Why You’ll Love This Healthy Pink Drink

Better-for-you Starbucks copycat
Made with just a handful of ingredients
Naturally caffeine-free
Ready in under 5 minutes

The prettiest pink drink for spring and summer

Ingredients

Pink Drink

1 cup red juice of choice (I love Trader Joe’s To the Power of Seven Red)
½ cup canned coconut milk, blended until smooth
Ice
¼ cup freeze-dried strawberries, plus extra for topping

Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam

¼ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sweet cream creamer
½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste

How to Make a Healthy Pink Drink

Fill your favorite glass about three-quarters full with ice.

Add the freeze-dried strawberries, then pour in the red juice followed by the blended coconut milk. Give everything a gentle stir to combine.

In a separate glass or frother, whip together the heavy cream, sweet cream creamer, and vanilla bean paste until thick and fluffy.

Pour the cold foam over the drink, sprinkle with a few extra freeze-dried strawberries, give it one more gentle stir, and enjoy!

Tips

Blending canned coconut milk before pouring gives it the creamiest texture.
Freeze-dried strawberries soften as they sit and add the perfect burst of strawberry flavor.
Want it a little sweeter? Add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey to the juice before assembling.
For the prettiest layers, pour the coconut milk slowly over the juice before topping with the cold foam.

Frequently Asked Questions

What juice works best?

I love using Trader Joe’s To the Power of Seven Red because it has a naturally fruity flavor and gorgeous color, but any red juice blend or pomegranate-based juice works well.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Absolutely! Swap the heavy cream and sweet cream creamer for your favorite dairy-free cold foam alternative.

Does this taste like the Starbucks Pink Drink?

It has the same fruity, creamy flavor profile with a homemade twist. The vanilla bean cold foam takes it to the next level and makes it feel even more like a specialty cafe drink.

Can I make it ahead?

It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can mix the juice and coconut milk ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Froth the cold foam just before serving.
