Honeydew Green Tea Smoothie with Boba
- Total Time: 35
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups honeydew, cubed
- 1/4 cup iced loose leaf green tea or melon flavored green tea
- 1/4 cup tapioca pearls
- 3 cups water
- 3 Tbsp agave syrup, honey, coconut sugar, or any other sweetener of your choice
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, bring the water to a boil on medium high heat & then add the tapioca pearls. Stir occasionally for about 2-3 minutes or until the balls float to the top. Reduce the boil to a simmer by lowering the heat & cover.
- Meanwhile, add the honeydew & tea in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour the honeydew smoothie into a tall glass & refrigerate until the tapioca is finished.
- Return to the tapioca pearls & stir occasionally. When the tapioca sinks to the bottom, let it sit covered with the heat turned off for about 10-12 minutes. Rinse & drain the tapioca into a mesh colander.
- Place the tapioca in a small bowl & add the agave. Mix the agave & the tapioca well, cover, & let sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes.
- In a separate cup, spoon desired amount of boba & top with honeydew smoothie. Enjoy!
