Mango & Passionfruit Tapioca Pots

Serves 2
Time 20 minutes
Ingredients
1/2C tapioca pearls
1C frozen mango
1C frozen passionfruit
1C Greek Style low fat yoghurt i.e. Chobani 0.5%, Farmer’s Union Lite
Slivered almonds or any nuts to top with.
Coconut chips to serve
4.5C Water
1C Ice
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp maple syrup or honey

Tip: At the end of the day, just choose any fruit you like. You can even add cinnamon.

Method
1. Add about 2 cups of water to a pot and heat to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer. Add the tapioca.
2. When the tapioca becomes translucent and minimal water remains, approximately 10-15 minutes, remove from heat and pour tapioca from the pot into an ice bath (2C cold water and ice).
3. Whilst tapioca is cooling, blend the frozen mango into a puree. If needed add a few tbsp of water to help smooth.
4. Strain tapioca from ice water. Then place in a large bowl. They should be easy to separate. Mix in the yoghurt, maple syrup or honey and vanilla essence. You could add cinnamon here if you wish.
5. Get the cups/glasses your wish to serve in. Add about 4 tbsp of tapioca mixture, then layer with mango puree. Continue this layering effect.
6. Puree the passionfruit as you did the Mango.
7. Finish the layering effect with the passion fruit puree, then top with slivered almonds and coconut chips.

Tip: I found that the pots taste better after sitting in the fridge over night. You could make up 6 for the week, so they are ready to go when you are time pour during your work week. You can even pop in Tupperware containers to grab and go if you have races.

Nutrition information:
These pots are high in protein and calcium from the yoghurt. Calcium is important for bone health and strength. Considering jockeys fall at height and speed, we need to keep your bones as strong as possible. Calcium is also important for muscle contractions. You need 1000mg of calcium per day for good health however research suggests jockeys require more. Below is a chart from Osteoporosis Australia (2020) listing the content of calcium in foods. See if you are meeting your calcium requirements by tracking your intake for 1-day.
