The Steps for Making a Dragonfruit Drink
Mango Dragonfruit Refresher with Coconut Milk & Other VariationsI prefer to keep this drink light and refreshing, and top my drinks off with sparkling water. It’s fizzy, slightly fruit, and perfect for a hot day. You might want to try one of these options:
This drink is not as sweet as the coffee shop version. The coffee shop version is sweetened with white grape juice, which is high in fructose and can cause a quick rise in blood sugar. I prefer to make drinks unsweetened unless it’s with whole fruit. If you’d like a sweeter drink that is still lower GI, use date syrup to taste. Although the original version of this drink is made with green coffee extract, this version uses green tea, which is more accessible and often a household staple item. This makes it cheaper, with many of the same benefits touted by the trendy extract.
