Homemade Dragon Drink VS Starbucks

[@HDcreature]

Starbucks uses freeze-dried dragonfruit chunks which are harder to find, but many places sell the freeze-dried dragon fruit powder if you don't mind not having the chunks in there!

[@jcb7891]

Trader Joe’s sells the freeze dried ones

[@xxxBamBammxxx]

target has it i believe

[@geminisociety]

Sprouts has it too

[@evajawidzk2068]

​@@jcb7891thank you 😊

[@nunyabidnes6010]

Not hard to find at all.

[@mr.artist6128]

thank you now i realize i must stalk the starbucks workers to learn their secrets

[@jacquelinerhoden4428]

You don't think they will disappoint you by switching things up 😊

[@HomemakerHelper]

To be fair, you wouldn’t know this recipe unless you worked there or a barista told you what’s in it. But yeah basically all of the refresher bases have white grape juice concentrate as the first ingredient.

[@oldankh]

Heyo ex barista here, so it's just mango dragon fruit base, coconut milk, ice and a scoop of freeze dried dragon fruit The base does have caffeine, and the base is premade in a box so we don't really know what's in it completely except there is grape flavoring, mango flavoring, dragon fruit flavoring Hope this helped, I still remember all the other recipes if curious

[@The_HealingSpace]

THere are a whole bunch of yt creators who just spew the recipes out! it's fun and you don't have to stalk irl.

[@UshioKiss]

​@oldankh there's also green coffee extract! the ingredients are listed on starbucks website and app. You can always just ask your baristas as well, but some of them might not know all the ingredients. I'm a nerd who reads all of our labels though lol.

[@brynnc.1266]

Finally, someone who understand that literally all of our refreshers are grape juice with a tiny bit of flavoring XD

[@safiakhaled2532]

Starbucks 🗑

[@brandynsmith5614]

Freeze dried is the difference you taste more than likely, freeze dried fruits definitely taste different to me

[@mleal8814]

I just tried this recipe! It’s sooo good!! Thank you!!

[@Dee038]

I buy frozen dragon fruit, blend with frozen banana, frozen mangos, plant based vanilla protein powder, collagen peptide powder, smooth flaxseed, honey, lime juice and almond milk! Yummy!! 😋🏆

[@laurahildebrand7023]

Where do you live that you can get all the stuff for $1.45 or are you breaking it down cost per ounce? Cause where I live a bag of frozen dragon fruit is like $4.

[@SabreX.]

I think he’s talking about per portion

[@sprwsso]

and he can make it multiple times

[@viktoriaschmied6627]

If you get it once as a treat fair point. But if he considered it I'd presume he drinks those regularly so making them himself will save him money (and less sugar too, Starbucks adds so much of it to their drinks)

[@TheRealAmythyst]

Yeah because the Excel chart completely missed your comment....🤷🏾‍♀️

[@asscrackb4ndit]

@@sprwssowho is realistically going to consume thirty dragon drinks?

[@RowensGotGamesYT]

i would absolutely love this! if i wasn’t incredibly allergic to dragon fruit

[@Cammymoh]

Im sure your version is healthier and tastier- just overall better because u are using real ingredients. Most of there drinks dont even use actual friut- only sugar and juice concentrate

[@GodIsGood-pk3yy]

this simply does not taste like it

[@miles_quartz]

[@greenlionguardian]

[@ourikc]

This one’s not as easy since dragon fruit isn’t too easy to get and coconut milk isn’t very shelf stable

[@YaoiCifer1]

Try your nearest Sprouts. I’ve seen them as whole fruit or frozen cubes.

[@rin5719]

You need more artificial and real sugar!

[@sternchen3754]

There are no frosen dragonfruits in Austria 😢

[@lovememoreeeee]

…. Am I the only one who feels nauseous when chewing on the dragon fruit pieces from Starbucks. I literally gagged idk what it was but it made me feel dizzy

[@kissingthehomies]

I've never had Starbucks but I've heard that the dragon drink with the fruit is pretty disgusting, because they add in the fruit freeze dried so it starts crunchy but turns soggy from the liquids. I'm sure that messes with not just the texture but also the flavor. But even if I haven't tried it myself, you can just tell that the dragon fruit looks off and disgustingly mushy from your normal fresh dragon fruit. Also I don't even like the fruit all that much to begin with, it just tastes like refreshing beats to me, but it's pretty nice in the summer if I'm eating a small portion since it's crisp, cold, and has that seed crunch. Starbucks fruit is just out of wack ig because it does not look normal.

[@lovememoreeeee]

@@kissingthehomies omg yes it was the texture that put me off the most 😭 it was soggy on the outside on the outside and crunchy on the inside and weirdly salty.. I don’t like dragon fruit all that much to begin with, but i think just having actual fruit pieces would’ve been better.

[@cindersapfrog5598]

I was curious about the dragon fruit because I buy fresh and they're so expensive if and when they're in season 😭

[@alinewright1093]

When you have more time than money, you make it.

[@uselessprotaganist7444]

In this case that's a trivial amount of time. Literally measure a few basic ingredients out to throw into a glass, shake or mix it, and you're done.

[@Ammonepr]

Why 89% and not 98-100?

[@adrianalonso-xk3cz]

That’s a grande?!?! 😂

[@christianramsey393]

Those ingredients are not 1.47 worth

[@Roxannee2610]

At my country dragon fruit is so expensive that making it myself would make it more expensive

[@shadowsoulless6227]

I've never bought a single thing at a Starbucks. Once I was given a gift card and I went in and got up pastry or something? I really wasn't impressed and I think I lost the rest of the gift card because I just didn't care about going back. I don't get why people go there. Also know I've never had coffee in my life because I'm not an addict like everybody else that seems to be addicted to their caffeine milkshakes. Y'all that these corporations control you it's sad.

[@Afro__Joe]

Be glad, their coffee is quite literally worse than most gas stations. That's why they put 5 pounds of sugar in each drink.

[@lalala9206]

Okay. I normally like these types of videos where I can see how a thing is made, but unless you continue to make dragon drinks with the same amounts then one dragon drink will cost you how much you paid for the entire lot of ingredients, which will be around $30-$40. You only get to $1.47 if you use all those bought ingredients to make dragon drinks until you’ve used all the ingredients completely

[@minerorwoozer]

32$ of ingredients + shopping and prep time VS starbucks line

[@myrtlealley]

He learned how to fish

[@daffquess7006]

What prep time? Put it in a container and shake is too much for you?

[@wellmynameisana]

So you only go to Starbucks once in a lifetime or regularly?

[@jaydenflash4706]

U sir are a scientist

[@stephanieryder8484]

They add way more sugar in all their drinks at Starbucks so that's probably the difference in taste you're noticing.

[@VioletInGeneral]
