Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons taro powder (unsweetened)
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon black tea leaves
- 0.25 cup tapioca pearls (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
If using tapioca pearls, prepare them following the package instructions (boil in water for 10-15 minutes) and set aside in a bowl of warm water to prevent sticking.
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the black tea leaves, reduce the heat to low, and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain the tea leaves and set the brewed tea aside to cool slightly.
In a blender, combine the taro powder, almond milk, protein powder, brewed tea, and honey or agave syrup (if using). Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
Fill a glass with the prepared tapioca pearls (if using) and a handful of ice cubes.
Pour the taro milk tea mixture into the glass over the ice and pearls.
Stir gently, and serve immediately with a wide straw. Enjoy your high-protein taro milk tea!
