WHAT’S IN A STRAWBERRY ACAI REFRESHER
I thought sipping on a Strawberry Acai Refresher was its own rewards because it is so delicious. I was surprised to learn about some of the health benefits found in many of the ingredients in this “super” drink!
Did you know freeze-dried strawberry powder is a great source of fibre? Consuming fibre helps to make you feel fuller longer, preventing the need to overeat.
Acai powder contains antioxidants, fibre, healthy fats (such as omega-3 and 6), and calcium. This “superfood” may provide nutritional benefits to various parts of your body such as supporting heart and cholesterol health to regulating blood sugar levels.
Do you love sipping on white grape juice? An eight-ounce glass can serve as an excellent source of vitamin C, providing a person with their full day’s allowance of this mineral.
HOW TO SERVE STARBUCKS STRAWBERRY ACAI REFRESHER
This flavour-packed drink can be enjoyed both with and with out ice. After a good workout, I like sipping on this recipe with simple breakfast foods if this is an early morning snack. After a hectic day, I would have a glass of this copycat Starbucks drink alongside a light sandwich or fresh nibbles to reenergize my body for the rest of the day.
DOES STARBUCKS STRAWBERRY ACAI REFRESHER HAVE CAFFEINE?
This Starbucks drink for non-coffee drinkers is a favourite to enjoy when I am looking for something to sip that can give be a bit of a kick that is not a cup of joe. What gives this drink its pep? The instant green coffee!
This instant green coffee is made with unroasted coffee beans. Not roasting the beans retains more caffeine when they are brewed than if they were roasted. One cup of green coffee has about 20-50 mg of caffeine, where a cup of coffee contains about 100 mg.
