    Strawberry dragon fruit refresher! Make my healthy and easy strawberry dragon fruit refresher recipe with coconut milk right at home. You can make this Dunkin' copycat refresher right in your blender with green tea, fruit, and coconut milk!

    I love Dunkin refreshers, they're sweet and perfect for a hot summer day! And I'm super excited because the strawberry dragon fruit refresher is not discontinued and will be here this year too!

    I wanted to recreate this delicious flavor with a bit less sugar at home so I hope you like it as much as I did!

    WHAT IS A STRAWBERRY DRAGON FRUIT REFRESHER?

    The Dunkin' strawberry dragon fruit refresher is made with iced green tea, B vitamins, and flavored fruit concentrate. This refresher is very similar to the mega famous pink drink from Starbucks.

    WHAT ARE DUNKIN REFRESHERS MADE OUT OF?

    Dunkin' refreshers have come and gone the past couple of years with different flavors like peach, strawberry, blueberry, and more. The basic dunkin' refresher recipe is a combination of green tea, flavored fruit concentrate, B vitamins and either lemonade or coconut milk if you want it creamy.

    WHAT IS IN THE STRAWBERRY DRAGON FRUIT REFRESHER AT DUNKIN?

    Ingredient list taken right from the Dunkin' website:

    Brewed Green Tea; Strawberry Dragon fruit Flavored Concentrate: Water, Sugar, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Green Tea Extract, Vegetable Juice for Color, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), D-Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12).

    I'm a huge fan of making everything homemade and as natural as possible so I made my refresher recipe with just a few simple ingredients!

    STRAWBERRY DRAGON FRUIT REFRESHER DUNKIN NUTRITION

    Size large has: 170 calories, 0 grams of fat, 20 milligrams of sodium, 39 grams of carbs, and a whopping 37 grams of sugars.

    Keep in mind for a healthy gut & hormone balance, we should eat no more than 25 grams of added sugars per day. These so-called healthy refreshers are loaded with added sugars. If you are on the go, be sure to ask for unsweetened.

    DUNKIN STRAWBERRY DRAGON FRUIT REFRESHER RECIPE AT HOME

    • ¼ cup dragon fruit
    • ¼ cup strawberries
    • 2 cups green tea
    • 1-2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar (optional)
    • ¼-1/2 cup coconut milk (optional for creamy)
    • Ice

    HOW DO YOU MAKE A DUNKIN REFRESHER AT HOME

    step 1 brew iced green tea

    First, I made cold brew green tea overnight. I used 4 green tea bags in 4 cups of room temperature water and then refrigerated it overnight. You can use either decaf or regular green tea!

    • cold brew green tea

    In a time pinch, use store bought already brewed green tea, or brew hot green tea and let it cool to room temperature.

    step 2 blend

    In your blender add 2 cups of green tea, ¼ cup dragon fruit, ¼ cup strawberries, and 1-2 tablespoons honey or agave if using.

    If you are making a creamy coconut milk strawberry dragon fruit refresher add ¼-1/2 cup coconut milk to your blender too.

    Blend until the fruit is pureed into the tea.

    step 3 pour

    Fill a large glass with ice cubes. Add another ½ cup of diced pink dragon fruit. Pour the refresher over the ice and dragon fruit.

    Enjoy!

    FAQ's

    What kind of coconut milk do I use to make a creamy refresher?

    I buy a carton of coconut milk found in the refrigerator section. There's no need to use the can of full fat coconut milk in this recipe. I tried it will full fat coconut milk and it did not blend into a creamy tea and little chunks of coconut milk were floating in my drink.

    Should I use fresh or frozen fruit?

    I used frozen and then thawed strawberries and dragon fruit. I like using thawed because they release more sweet juice than fresh does.

    Should I use decaf or regular green tea in a refresher?

    I used decaf because I wanted an afternoon drink without caffeine! But, if you want an energizing refresher, use regular green tea that contains caffeine.

      I think I will leave out the coconut milk next time, it was a bit over powering. My daughter is addicted to Dunkin Refreshers and I thought if I could nail this I’d save a lot of $. That said, it didn’t suck, just was too frozen and maybe I shouldn’t have added so much ice to the blender but just served it over ice. I just used bottled green tea.

      Definitely make it without the ice in the blender next time, it will not be frozen if you just use fruit, green tea, and coconut milk!

      Tastes like green tea. Also was brown so I added pink dye

      It shouldn't be brown, did you use the dragon fruit?
