    My Keto Pink Drink is light, fruity, and delicious! You won't have to miss out on this Starbucks coffee shop favorite when you can make your own low carb pink drink at home. This easy recipe is also dairy-free, sugar-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.

    In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.

    What is a Starbucks Pink Drink? Is a Pink Drink Keto?

    If you are on social media at all chances are you've seen photos floating around of the Starbuck's secret menu "Pink Drink." I've been drooling over them for days. It is a Strawberry Acai Refresher combined with vanilla syrup, coconut milk, and chunks of fresh strawberries. It is not sugar-free or low carb. The Refreshers have sugar and so does the coconut milk Starbucks uses. Bummer. So I made up my own copycat in this Keto Pink Drink Recipe!

    Update! You can actually order a Starbucks Keto Pink Drink nowadays. Just ask for iced passion tea with no sugar, sugar free vanilla syrup, heavy cream, and ice. I still prefer my homemade dairy free versions but it's nice to be able to order one when out as well.

    The official (or unofficial) Starbucks Pink Drink is full of sugar. To make my own I just went with the strawberry coconut combination and played around. I really love the results.

    My first attempt looked a lot thicker than the Starbucks photos. So I went back to the kitchen to make a Starbucks pink drink recipe that was more drink than a smoothie. Then I was thinking how nice this would be as a FP for the Trim Healthy Mama diet so I made one more variety. The 1 ½ tablespoon of full-fat coconut milk has 5 grams of fat which keeps it in Fuel Pull territory.

    I have a few different options for this easy Keto Pink Drink so you can make it to your preference!

    How to Make a Keto Pink Drink

    You need to brew some tea, add sweetener, coconut milk, and strawberries, and cool it with ice. That's it!

    Original Pink Drink - this is the closest to the one you buy at Starbucks.

    8 oz boiling water

    1 Lipton Berry Hibiscus tea bag

    1 Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Zinger tea bag

    2 tablespoon Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)

    1 cup cold water + ice cubes to equal 1 ½ cups ice water

    ¼ cup full fat coconut milk or heavy cream

    3 fresh strawberries

    pinch of xanthan gum (helps avoid separation)

    Another option is to use sugar free vanilla syrup instead of the sweetener. If you don't need to be dairy-free you can add a splash of heavy whipping cream.

    Keto Pink Drink Smoothie - smooth, cool, and refreshing, this is a great frozen version!

    4 oz boiling water

    1 Lipton Berry Hibiscus tea bag

    1 Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Zinger tea bag

    2 tablespoon Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)

    ½ cup ice

    ¼ cup full fat coconut milk or heavy cream

    4 fresh strawberries

    pinch of xanthan gum (helps avoid separation)

    Fuel Pull Pink Drink - low cal and low fat this is perfect for Trim Healthy Mama.

    8 oz boiling water

    1 Lipton Berry Hibiscus tea bag

    1 Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Zinger tea bag

    2 tablespoon Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)

    ½ cup ice

    1 cup cold water

    1 ½ tbsp full fat coconut milk

    2 fresh strawberries

    pinch of xanthan gum (helps avoid separation)

    Can I use other tea bags for a low carb keto pink drink?

    Yes! I like the combination of a berry teabag and a raspberry teabag but you can really use any strawberry, raspberry, mixed berry tea bags you have already. Passion tango or passion tea bags are great too.

    Tagalong Cookies - just like the Girl Scout favorite!

    Copycat Cocoa Krispies - this is a great cereal option if you are doing Trim Healthy Mama!

    Instructions

    • Drink Directions: In a large glass measuring cup pour boiling water over the tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Add the sweetener and stir to dissolve. Add 1 ½ cups ice water. Stir to melt the ice. Blend this with the coconut milk and strawberries. Blend in the xanthan gum. Pour over additional ice and strawberry chunks.
    • Smoothie Directions: In a glass measuring cup pour boiling water over the tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Add the sweetener and stir to dissolve. Add ice to make this equal 1 cup. Stir to melt the ice. Blend this with the coconut milk and strawberries. Blend in the xanthan gum.Pour over additional ice and strawberry chunks.
    • Trim Healthy Mama Fuel Pull Directions: In a glass measuring cup pour boiling water over the tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Add the sweetener and stir to dissolve. Add ice and cold water. Stir to melt the ice. Blend this with the coconut milk and strawberries. Blend in the xanthan gum. Pour over additional ice.

    Notes

    Notes on Sweeteners: 
    I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.
    To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 
     
    To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.
     
    Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.

      Could I use almond milk instead of coconut milk? I’ve never had coconut milk but I’m also not a coconut lover either.

      My very skinny 17 year old eats a very unhealthy diet. When she latched on to the pink drinks I was excited because it is WAY better than her usual energy drinks! I had a sip and knew I needed to make it healthy. She usually turns up her nose and my attempts to feed her healthy🙄I am very excited to try this. My hope is that it’s awesome and she switches (Starbucks has been incredibly inconsistent with this particular drink and dissappoints her as she puts down $5 of her hard earned dollars and leaves it undrunk on my counters; I am hoping for a win!!) thank you so much!!!

      When you say coconut milk, do you mean canned? Or in a container like cashew milk?
