My Keto Starbucks Pink Drink is light, fruity, and delicious! You won’t have to miss out on this coffeeshop favorite when you can make your own keto pink drink at home. This easy recipe is low carb, keto, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.
What is a Starbucks Pink Drink?
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 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 Keto Starbucks Pink Drink Recipe!
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 1/2 tbsp 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 Keto Starbucks Pink Drink so you can make it to your preference!

Can I use other tea bags for a low carb 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.
