Hashtag pink drink has been taking over my Instagram feed since early summer. Starbucks Acai Strawberry Refresher is one of my favorite afternoon drinks but I was a little reluctant to get on the pink drink bandwagon because I don’t love Starbucks coconut milk. Why does it have to have so many weird ingredients?? Anyway, my mom and sister begged me to recreate the Starbucks pink drink so they could make it at home and I finally caved. You know what? #Pinkdrink is for real. I am now a fan of the Starbucks Pink Drink. This drink was super easy to recreate paleo style and to cut out any of the junk in the original. Swapping in natural ingredients makes this Starbucks Pink Drink pop! The addition of fresh strawberries and organic white grape juice adds a natural sweetness without any sugar! I tried this drink with both Acai Berry and Hibiscus Berry tea because I had a horrible time finding acai berry tea. I wanted to make sure you all can make this drink ASAP without going on a hunt for acai tea. There you have it. I am now team Starbucks Pink Drink… paleo style!!
So I am totally addicted to the Bachelorette. I used to work every Monday night so I could never watch the show. Also I kind of hate reality shows, but I missed out on the fun of Monday girls nights drinking wine and watching the show. Since moving, I no longer work nights which is AMAZING! It also means I can watch the Bachelorette / Bachelor. Don’t get me wrong. This show is terrible, but it is so addicting! I thought she was going to pick Jordon from day 1 but now I am not so sure!! Will she pick Robby?? Or Jordon?? Sorry Chase I don’t think you are making it to the final two. Anyways, I will be watching next week on pins and needles to see who Jojo picks!

Quick question because I don’t want to mess this up when I make it! After steeping the tea bag and squeezing the juice out, am I pouring that juice into the grape juice and coconut milk? Do I discard the hot water?
Hi Crystalini! The team will actually seep into the hot water, which you will then mix with the grape juice and coconut milk! You will only discard the tea bags!
