Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Taro powder (low-fat or reduced calorie)
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.333 cup Quick-cooking tapioca pearls
- 1.5 tablespoons Low-calorie sweetener (stevia, monk fruit, etc.)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan.
Once boiling, add the tapioca pearls and stir immediately to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 3-5 minutes or according to the package instructions.
Once the tapioca pearls float to the top and reach your desired chewiness, drain them and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe mug or small saucepan, heat the low-fat milk until warm but not boiling (about 1-2 minutes in the microwave or gently heated on the stove).
Whisk the taro powder and low-calorie sweetener into the warm milk until fully dissolved.
In a blender, combine the taro milk mixture and ice cubes. Blend until smooth and frothy.
Pour the cooked tapioca pearls into a serving glass.
Pour the blended taro milk over the tapioca pearls.
Add a wide straw and enjoy your low-fat taro boba!
