Still remember the classic Boba Milk Tea and Strawberry Rose Rainbow Boba Milk Tea videos that I shared not long ago? If you’ve miss those recipes, simply click here and here to check them out. Today, I want to share another boba drink recipe with you, Taro Coconut Smoothie with Taro Boba (新鮮芋頭椰汁波霸冰沙). I made this taro smoothie using fresh taro roots. The texture of taro roots is similar to sweet potato, which is very starchy. But taro root is less sweet compared to sweet potato; it has a unique fragrant and taste that you can’t get from other root vegetables. With the fresh taro root in this smoothie, the taro flavor is undeniable and very delicious.
This drink is inspired by a very popular Asian dessert, Taro Coconut Tapioca dessert soup (椰汁芋頭西米露). But instead of the tiny tapioca pearls, I used some taro boba (see picture above). The taro boba are so pretty and unique. They turned into these translucent purple jewels after they are cooked! Best of all, they are ready in just 3 minutes. They have a subtle taro flavor as well. I will list the ingredients and tools at the bottom of this post for your convenience. This smoothie taste exactly like the traditional Taro Coconut Tapioca dessert, but transformed into a fun and exotic smoothie instead. It’s easy to prepare and so much fun to drink.
