Aug 25

✨ A gluten free, dairy free, nurse practitioner mom’s playful snack check-up!

👩‍⚕️ Disclaimer: This is just my personal tastebuds talking—not medical advice. I bought this myself (no sponsorships here!). Always check with your own healthcare provider for what works for you.

❤️ H = Health (Vitals Check)

This drink is a coconut-strawberry blend that claims 45% less sugar than other coconut drinks. Here’s the quick charting:

✅ Plant-based
✅ Vegan
✅ Labeled gluten-free (not certified)
✅ Soy-free
8g sugar per serving (not sugar-free, but not a sugar bomb either!)

I usually sip this in the morning with my fave caffeinated powder packet—because this mama needs her zip to keep up with life!

🍴 E = Eating (Taste Test)

Ohhh yes. The very first sip reminded me of that famous pink drink from the coffee chain we all know. 💕 Sweet, but not cloying.

✨ Pro tip: toss in some fresh strawberries + blend for a fruity, nutrient boost. It’s basically a coffeehouse treat without leaving my kitchen (or my yoga pants).

🛒 A = Accessibility (Can You Find It?)

Absolutely! 🙌 I picked it up at Jewel and Mariano’s for about $6 plus tax. A little pricier than one coffee shop drink—but since you get a whole bottle, it lasts way longer. Win for my wallet!

🎵 R = Rhythm Rating (Heartbeat Status)

This drink makes my foodie heart race! On my playful NP scale, it’s a clear sinus tachycardia = I love it, crave it, and always keep one (plus a backup) in the fridge.

📣 T = Tell Others (Sharing Is Caring)

I’d totally shout this one from the rooftops. 🏡 Not sure my mom would be into it (she’s not a fan of sweet drinks), but if you like strawberries + coconut? It’s worth a try in your next snack round!
