Put 2 cups of water in a microwave-safe dish and heat in the microwave until warm, about 2 minutes. Add the tapioca and let it sit for 10 minutes. Drain through a sieve. You will be left with a mushy puddle of tapioca.

Pour the remaining water into a saucepan and add the drained tapioca. Bring it to a boil, then simmer over medium heat until the tapioca starts to turn transparent, stirring often to prevent sticking.
- 3
When the tapioca is transparent, stir in the bananas, sugar, and salt. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes more, stirring frequently. When the bananas are fairly well broken down, remove from the heat and stir in the coconut milk until fully combined. The tapioca pearls will reappear and the pudding will be like a thick soup. Taste and adjust the sugar if you like.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
