How To Make A Copycat Starbucks Strawberry Acai Refresher At Home
To make this at home, you’re going to need a few ingredients.
First is strawberries. You will need freeze-dried strawberry powder. You can choose to use freeze-dried of fresh ones as a garnish, but they get kinda…mushy.
Next ingredient is Acai Powder. It’s a little pricey but it’s super healthy and you don’t have to use much per drink.
The next ingredient is Green Coffee Bean Powder. This is the energy that the refresher gives you. Caffeine without the coffee taste!
After that is Passion Fruit Concentrate. This helps boost the fruity flavor of the drink!
The other ingredients are white grape juice, sugar, and filtered water (bottled water works just fine).
Once you mix all of these ingredients using the proper instructions below, you’ll have your own personal Strawberry Acai Refresher to make straight from your home!
