Notes
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake or stir before drinking as it may separate. Make-Ahead: Cook and cube the taro up to 2 days in advance and store in the fridge. Substitutions: Use honey or agave nectar instead of maple syrup. For a nuttier flavor, add a tablespoon of almond butter. Serving Suggestion: Serve as a refreshing breakfast smoothie, a post-workout drink, or a healthy dessert.
