In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add 1 cup of small tapioca pearls and reduce the heat to medium-low, allowing it to simmer.
Cook the tapioca pearls for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking together, until they become translucent with a slight white center.
Once done, pour the tapioca pearls into a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to drain.
In a blender, combine the flesh of 2 ripe mangoes and blend until smooth. Set aside a few mango cubes for garnish if desired.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of coconut milk and 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. Add the blended mango puree to this mixture.
Introduce the drained tapioca pearls into the mango-coconut milk mixture, and stir well to combine.
For added depth of flavor, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional) and a pinch of sea salt.
Chill the mango sago in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully develop and the sago to absorb the liquid slightly.
Serve chilled, garnished with reserved mango cubes. Enjoy this refreshing and compliant Whole30 treat as a satisfying dessert.
