I love the Dragon Drink at Starbucks, which is basically the Mango Dragon Fruit Refresher with coconut milk added. But let's face it, trips to grab a sip can get expensive and they are loaded with ice so it's gone in two seconds...you then catch yourself trying to suck every last bit from the bottom of the cup through your straw! I have created the perfect copycat recipe that you can make at home-with free refills!

Put as much or as little ice in as you want...but use caution: you could end up liking this copycat better than the Starbucks one.

Additionally, Dragon Fruits, or Pitahaya, which come from a cactus-like tree in the desert and are loaded with antioxidants, fiber, vitamins B & C, and is anti-inflammatory. So it's good for you and the color from the freeze-dried dragon fruit powder creates the most vibrant pink color that makes it fun to drink!
