A quick and easy homemade version of the famous Starbucks Pink Drink that’s refreshing, healthy, and perfect for summer. Made with real strawberries, coconut milk, and green tea for a creamy, fruity, and lightly sweet smoothie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen strawberries (or fresh with added ice)
  • 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened coconut milk (canned preferred; almond or oat milk can be substituted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) brewed and cooled green tea

Instructions

  1. Brew 1/2 cup (120ml) of green tea using your favorite tea bag. Let steep for 3-5 minutes, remove the bag, and cool completely (about 10 minutes).
  2. Measure out frozen strawberries, freeze-dried strawberries, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and ice cubes. Add sweetener if desired.
  3. In a high-speed blender, combine frozen strawberries, freeze-dried strawberries, coconut milk, and cooled green tea. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until mostly smooth.
  4. Add ice cubes and optional sweetener, then blend again for 15-20 seconds until thick and frosty.
  5. Taste and adjust consistency by adding more coconut milk if too thick or more sweetener if too tart.
  6. Pour into a tall glass or mason jar and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh strawberry slices and a reusable straw.

Notes

Use frozen strawberries for a thick, slushy texture. Brew green tea and cool completely before blending to avoid a runny smoothie. Blend freeze-dried strawberries separately before adding to prevent clumps. Chill glassware before serving for extra refreshment. Adjust sweetness to taste; natural strawberry sweetness is usually sufficient.
