Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripened mango, sliced into chunks
- 1 cup silken tofu
- 1/2 cup iced black tea or mango black tea
- 1/4 cup large tapioca pearls
- 3 Tbsp coconut sugar or honey
- 3 cups water
Instructions
- Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Once the water is boiling, add the tapioca pearls & stir to loosen the pearls if they were previously attached to one another.
- Meanwhile, toss the mango, tofu, & green tea in a blender. Blend until smooth & place into the refrigerator to keep it cold.
- Place a lid over the saucepan & bring the water down to a simmer on low heat. Stir occasionally for about 15 minutes or until the tapioca pearls all sink to the bottom, the water turns a murky brown color, & they are soft, yet chewy.
- Remove the tapioca pearls from the saucepan by draining into a strainer, rinsing quickly with water. Place the tapioca pearls into a bowl & add the sweetener. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or until the pearls have absorbed the sweetness.
- Scoop some of the tapioca pearls, also known as boba, into a tall glass & then the mango smoothie. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you have boba left over, pop it into the fridge to keep it from spoiling. Stick it into the microwave for about 15-20 seconds on high heat to enjoy again the following day.
