A magical homemade Healthy Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino with blue yogurt swirls, dragon fruit and mango smoothie, topped with homemade coconut whip!
Now unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve probably noticed that the new Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino has taken over social media. To be honest I haven’t actually tried it since it sold out pretty quickly and I’m not all about that 60g of sugar per drink life so instead I make my own!
When I first saw a taste test video of this Unicorn Frappuccino on YouTube I knew I had to recreate a fun healthy option so everyone could enjoy on the unicorn rainbow fun and because sometimes I just like to have fun in the kitchen. The blue yogurt swirl was actually a bit hard to create… naturally coloured blue foods is a bit tricky since there aren’t really many blue foods in nature besides blueberries that I can think of.
After I picked up the wrong E3Live powder I had to improvised (aka Google the crap out of homemade natural blue dye) and found this amazing article here about how you can turn red cabbage juice and baking soda into a deep blue dye.. all I have to say is WOW Science!
Now let me tell you about the bright purple smoothie base in this Unicorn Frappuccino drink. I have been waiting for an excuse to buy pink dragonfruit as I’ve seem so many beautiful smoothie bowls on Instagram lately. So this was the perfect chance to try it! I also blended in some banana and mango to give it a tropical burst of flavour a smooth creamy texture. To top it off, I “whipped” up some of my homemade coconut whipped cream and sprinkled on some beet crystal powder for some healthy sprinkles.
