Ingredients

• Strawberry Acai Refresher,  2 tbsp (or you could also use another type of berry-flavored drink mix)

• Passion Fruit Juice: ½ cup
• Sweetener (optional): 1-2 tsp of your preference i.e., honey, agave syrup.
• Ice: As needed

Instructions

1. Muddle Base: Mix passion fruit juice with Strawberry Acai Refresher in a pitcher. Stir until well mixed.
2. Add coconut milk: Pour in all of the coconut milk into the berry mixture and mix just until everything is pink there's no patchy white left.
3. Add Sweetener: If you want your jello to be a bit sweeter, add some sweetener and mix it in well.
4. Pour Over Ice: Fill a glass with ice and add the pink drink.
5. Sprinkle Freeze-Dried Strawberries: Finish off the smoothie with a sprinkle of freeze-dried strawberries for some added fruit.
6. Serve Immediately for a Fresh, Refreshing Drink.

Serving suggestions

• Berry Mix: Top off with a handful of fresh mixed berries. They are not just good for warding off diseases, but they also come with plenty of antioxidants.
• Herbal Infusion — steep a green tea bag in the drink for-earthy note ( Francisco Rican style ) It has a mild soothing effect due to green tea and contains antioxidants.
• Lemon or Lime Twist: For a bit of zest, squeeze some fresh lemon or lime slices. (Not to mention, citrus fruits are very high in vitamin C.)
• Minty Fresh: For that refreshing minty after taste, add a couple of mint leaves. Mint helps digestion and freshens the breath.
• Spice Kick — for those in love with a little bit of heat, put in a pinch of cayenne or even half a slice of jalapeño.
• Sweet Delight: Add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup to sweeten and smooth it out.

Tips and variations

• Coconut Milk: Full fat makes a creamier dish, but low fat is better for your waistline.
