What you'll need

  • High-powered blender — Smoothies, nut milks, and blended drinks without chunks.
  • Nut milk bag — Strain almond or oat milk to a clean, creamy finish.
  • Cold brew pitcher — Steep coarsely ground coffee in cold water overnight — no machine needed.

Instructions

  1. In a pitcher, whisk together the strawberry puree, dragon fruit puree, white grape juice, and honey until fully combined.
  2. Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes.
  3. Pour the fruit base over the ice, filling each glass about two-thirds full.
  4. Slowly top with the coconut milk and give one gentle stir to create the signature creamy pink swirl — do not blend.
  5. Drop in the freeze-dried strawberries and let them soften for 1-2 minutes, just like the original.
  6. Garnish with fresh, organic strawberries and serve immediately.

FAQ

What makes this version cleaner than what Starbucks might serve?

This recipe uses organic, non-GMO ingredients and avoids artificial additives, refined sugars, and seed oils typically found in processed versions of the drink.

Can I use regular honey instead of Manuka honey?

While you can substitute with regular raw honey, Manuka honey offers additional health benefits due to its anti-bacterial properties and distinct flavor.
