Notes

  • Remove green tea coffee powder if you are not looking to make a caffeinated drink
  • A lack of acai powder and passion fruit powder does not make your drink less delicious. It's still going to taste heavenly because of the strawberries. The powders are responsible for the beautiful pink hue of the drink
  • Top off your drink with strawberries for a beautiful and tart flavored drink.
  • You can replace water with coconut milk for a creamier taste
