FAST FOOD NEWS: Starbucks Pink Drink

Pink Drink 2017

Last spring, a new Starbucks drink craze swept the nation. Or should I say PINK craze?

The Pink Drink began as an off-the-menu beverage customization, but it’s now on the year-round beverage menu. It’s made by using coconutmilk instead of water in a Strawberry Acai Starbucks Refreshers and is topped with a scoop of strawberries. 

A 16-ounce serving has 140 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 60 milligrams of cholesterol, 0 milligrams of sodium, 1 gram of carbohydrates, 24 grams of fiber, 20 grams of sugar, 1 gram of protein, and 50 milligrams of caffeine.

I’m sure the 24 grams of fiber is an error, but for posterity, I’m going to leave this screenshot here:
