Sugar-free Strawberry Pink Drink (with Violet Drink Variation)

http://www.marksdailyapple.com/

We’re pushing the peak of summer heat, which means refreshing beverages are an all day, every day requirement. This strawberry pink drink is for those times you want something chilled, creamy, and softly sweet.

We make ours with collagen, which is something your body needs anyway. No shame in getting hooked on this pink drink, because once the effects of collagen kick in, you may see changes in your skin, hair, and nails that keep you going back for more.

It’s just as easy to make as it is refreshing! If you want to make a berry violet drink instead, use blackberries instead of strawberries and hibiscus tea instead of water.

Enjoy!

Refreshing Strawberry Pink Drink Recipe

Serves: 1

Time in the kitchen: 8 minutes

Ingredients

• ¾ c coconut or almond milk
• ¾ c + 2 Tbsp. water
• ½ c chopped strawberries + ¼ c sliced strawberries
• 2 scoops Primal Kitchen® Collagen Quench Triple Berry Drink Mix
• 1 tsp. granulated sweetener, optional
• ice

Directions

First, create the stewed strawberries for the drink. In a small saucepan, heat the chopped strawberries, 2 tbsp. water and granulated sweetener over medium heat.

Once they begin bubbling, reduce the heat to medium low and stir for 3-5 minutes, or until the strawberries begin to soften and break down. Set the strawberries aside.

In a jar, mix together the remaining water and Collagen Quench Triple Berry Drink Mix. Shake up until foamy.

Mix together the berry drink mix with the stewed strawberries and blend in a blender or with an immersion blender. Pour in the milk and blend again for a few seconds.

Pour the mixture over ice and garnish with sliced strawberries.
