Keto Pink Drink is a low-carb beverage made famous by Starbucks, and the KETO version is so much healthier and cheaper to make at home! The traditional pink drink uses sweetened components; however, this drink uses sugar-free ingredients, but retains the sweet, fruity, creamy flavor profile of the original.
This beverage typically consists of unsweetened passion or hibiscus herbal tea, coconut milk or heavy cream, and a sweetener that’s low in carbs, such as stevia or monk fruit. They’re often flavored with freeze-dried or fresh strawberries for a pop of flavor and color without a lot of carbs. The end product is a bright and refreshing pink drink that is not only pleasant to look at, but also hits the spot.
It’s the perfect drink to sip on in the morning as a pick-me-up, through the afternoon as a cool treat, or as a substitute when all you want is one of those sugar-laden coffeehouse pink drinks. It’s light, just a little bit fruity, and creamy, and is a great choice when you want to cool off on a hot day or satisfy your cravings for something sweet without feeling guilty.
Low-carb aside, it’s also hydrating and — depending on the recipe — full of good fats from cream or coconut milk. Fast and simple to whip up at home, the keto pink drink is a fun, Instagram-worthy drink that lets you have a little taste of café life while maintaining your ketosis.
