Summer is approaching and warm weather calls for some refreshing, iced drinks! If you’re a HUGE and I mean HUGE, HUGE fan of taro root like myself, you will enjoy this lightly sweetened Taro Ube Smoothie. Taro creates a creamy consistency and the ube gives this beverage a beautiful purplish hue. Feel free to blend it with your milk of choice! I used almond milk but can see it going well with regular and/or coconut milk! Check out my recipe and Youtube tutorial below. If you’ve tried and enjoy my recipe, please leave me a comment and tag me @rackoflam!

* Taro root and ube can be boiled or steamed. Please ensure that your taro root is fully cooked through, as raw taro may be toxic and potentially lead to irritation.
