Personal Experience
I decided to try making this drink at home after hearing so much about it from my friends. I followed the recipe above, but I added a bit more Captain Crunch cereal because I love the crunchiness. I also skipped the whipped cream because I am trying to watch my calorie intake.
The drink turned out great! It tasted just like the one from Starbucks, and I was able to enjoy it from the comfort of my own home. I even made a second one for my husband, and he loved it too.
I did notice that the drink was quite sweet, so if you prefer less sugar, you may want to reduce the amount of strawberries or use unsweetened almond milk instead.
