oh yes, several of you have asked for it! So we concocted our own version of Starbucks' famous mango and dragon fruit refresher .
We prefer to make this kind of beverage at home because it's customizable to our current mood, it contains no caffeine, and we can reduce the amount of added sugar. Plus, we can add even more freeze-dried dragon fruit - because that's clearly the best part! And it's much less expensive ( hello savings ).
We were pleased to partner with the talented Myriam from Tout Simplement Bouffe to create this recipe for you!
You may notice that the color differs slightly from the original drink.

What's more, this drink doesn't contain any caffeine (unlike classic refreshers which are made from green coffee beans) and can therefore be given to children!
