The latest in Starbucks’ new lineup of innovative and refreshing summer drinks, the Starbucks Iced Guava Passionfruit drink is exploding across social media. Released in time for Memorial Day, this drink has been described as “Hawaii in a cup” thanks to its tropical flavors, coconut milk base, and pretty pink hue. My daughter who is “Starbucks” obsessed insisted we drive and get one on the first day. It is her absolute favorite drink over Strawberry Acai, which I learned to make to save me a fortune.

But like all of Starbucks’ drinks, the summery drink comes with a price tag, not to mention a calorie count. Luckily, whipping up your own DIY Iced Guava Passionfruit drink from the comfort of your kitchen couldn’t be easier, which is why we are bringing you a copycat recipe with some healthy twists.

Starbucks Iced Guava Passionfruit Ingredients

Starbucks continues to make iced coconut milk drinks, which are praised for being healthier than full-fat cow’s milk, refreshing for the warm days of summer, and vegan. However, despite the supposed health benefits of coconut milk, this drink is still packed with sugary syrups and juice blends that give it the delicious flavor causing all the buzz on social media.

When making your own version, pay attention to the sugar content of the ingredients you use if your goal is to put a healthy spin on this new sweet treat.

The iced guava passionfruit drink is made with:

• coconut milk
• ice
• guava juice blend
• pineapple ginger syrup

How to Order a Keto Version of the Guava Passionfruit Drink at Starbucks

1. Order the Iced Guava Passionfruit drink with no sugar.
2. You can choose to keep the coconut milk or ask for heavy cream.
3. Ask for sugar-free pineapple ginger syrup (yes they have a sugar-free version).
4. Add Monkfruit or Stevia to sweeten the drink to your taste.

How to make Starbucks Guava Passionfruit Drink at Home:

Though you won’t be able to get your hands on the exact same syrups and blends that Starbucks uses as they come from direct suppliers, you can find some simple swaps at the grocery store or online that will help you re-create the drink at home. They will be much cheaper than the cost of a drink at Starbucks. Plus, it’s incredibly easy!

There are a couple of different approaches to recreating the iced guava passionfruit drink at home. The first recipe uses more pre-made ingredients, which makes it easier to whip up and has a flavor that is slightly closer to Starbucks’ version. The second version is more involved but allows you to cut down the added sugars for a healthier twist.

Here are a couple of DIY recipes for you to re-create the iced guava passionfruit drink, the best part, they all take about 5 minutes to make!
