The Plexus Slim version of the Starbucks' 'Pink Drink'

I cannot believe I haven't posted in over a year. Wow!

Well, if you don't know, Patrick and I moved from Texas to Wisconsin since the last post. Quite the move, right? I have met some pretty neat people here and work at a great station! But the other big thing going on in my life right now is Plexus.

If you've never heard of it, Plexus is an all natural health brand. They have a bunch of different products, but their most well known is called Plexus Slim. It is the most natural way to lose weight and inches by burning fat, not muscle. Slim also helps keep blood sugar, cholesterol and lipids at healthy levels. And the best part, I think, is it helps curb cravings and gives you SO much energy. I have been taking it for several months now, and I cannot even begin to tell you how much better I feel. I finally found something that I can lose weight and not eat like a rabbit. In fact, they discourage skipping meals. I could go on and on about how great the company and products are. I guess I wouldn't sell it if I didn't believe in it, right? Want to know more about the products or business opportunities? Email me. 

Okay, so back to why you came here... Pink. Drink. If you haven't seen all the rage about the new 'Pink Drink' that comes from Starbucks' secret menu, you are probably living in a hole. Just kidding, but it has been all over the news and Instagram, and it is even a go to drink for my favorite YouTuber and dear friend Jaz Jackson. I first saw the drink from her Snapchats, and I was like DANG, I gotta get that! I remember one of her many Snapchats about the drink was like, "Alright guys, get ready to screenshot this, because I am not telling you all again what is in this drink." So, I took her advice, screenshot it, and made my way to Starbucks ASAP. It was glorious. It is the Strawberry Acai Refresher and instead of water, they use coconut milk. Because I am a cheap ass, I told myself I could not keep spending $5 on a drink, so I decided to make my own.

Can we just talk about for a second how much ice is used in iced drinks at Starbucks?! I went to get the pink drink last week, and a clearly new employee, who had never made the drink before, kept filling the VENTI cup with ice when I could see she clearly did not make enough for the larger portion. It was so much damn ice. So that was a big thing I wanted to change with this drink. Less ice, more frozen strawberries. 

Ingredients:
-1 packet of Plexus Slim
-1 packet of Lipton Strawberry Acai Decaf Green Tea
-1 cup of So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk
-1/4 cup of water
-Frozen strawberries


Directions:

1. Add all the ingredients except for the strawberries, and mix it, mix it real good.
2. Pour over strawberries or ice if you don't have the frozen strawberries.
