If you’re a fan of the unicorn food craze, and let’s be honest, who doesn’t get even a little excited by pretty hues, glitter, and sprinkles? There is now a healthy take on a beautiful blended drink that’s perfect for summer. This recipe uses sweet strawberries to create a natural pink color, and almond milk and coconut yogurt provide added nutrients. The secret ingredient is vanilla- and coconut-flavored Collagen Fuel, a protein powder that, in addition to providing some tropical flavor, may help support healthy joints, tendons, and muscles! A tasty, pretty drink that is also good for you? Yes please!

Homemade Unicorn Frappe Recipe

Earlier in the spring, Starbucks made waves with their very limited Unicorn Frappuccino. It was sweet and sour, and colorful, and full of sugar. This homemade Unicorn Frappe recipe is easy to make and much better for you.

For this recipe you will need:

For the strawberry sauce
1 pound strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced in half
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon honey

For the frappe
2 scoops Primal Kitchen Collagen Fuel, Vanilla Coconut
1 cup vanilla coconut yogurt
1 cup almond milk, unsweetened
2 bananas
1 cup ice
6 drops natural blue food coloring (optional)

Add strawberries, water, and honey to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, or until strawberries break down and liquid has thickened a bit. When cool, blend until smooth.

Make the frappe

In a blender, add Collagen Fuel, yogurt, almond milk, and bananas. Blend until smooth. Add blue food coloring (if using) and ice, then blend just until combined and ice is still slushy. In a tall glass, smear 2 tablespoons of strawberry sauce around the inside of the glass in a circular motion. Gently fill the glass with the yogurt mixture. Drink immediately.
