Enjoy this copycat Starbucks Strawberry Acai Refresher right at home! Our easy-to-follow DIY recipe ensures you can make this fruity, antioxidant-packed drink whenever possible.
In a mixing bowl or a pitcher, combine the strawberry powder, acai powder, and green coffee powder; pour in a little bit of water and whisk to make a smooth slurry.
