Creamy tapioca pudding, high in protein, and calcium, and lactose-free!

Tapioca Hero

My grandmother was an amazing cook. She passed away almost 3 years ago now, but I often find myself thinking about her while I am in the kitchen.

She loved big bold flavors. She was not afraid of using butter and sugar to make something taste amazing! She used everything. She canned, preserved, and froze food. She was the total queen of the kitchen.

I still find myself picking up the phone to call her when I have a question about cooking. Luckily my mom inherited a lot of her skills, and I can call her.

Just last week I asked her for one of my Grandma’s recipes. Tapioca pudding. I love tapioca, and honestly, I usually just buy it. But a few months ago I started noticing my stomach was not handling dairy as well. I have a slight lactose intolerance, and while I can take Lactaid pills to help, sometimes I forget. So it is just easier to make tapioca without lactose!

And today I am sharing that recipe! It is my grandma’s recipe but instead of regular milk, I opted to use fairlife. It is a naturally lactose-free milk, it is ultra filtered, and has 50% more protein, 30% more calcium, and 50% less sugar than regular milk. And it is yummy!

I saw it while shopping at Smith’s, and now I see it everywhere. It is like I can’t NOT see it. I am sure you guys know what I am talking about. Such a funny phenomenon. You can check the store locator to see if it is in a store near you.fairlife

Anyway, it is an awesome option for my kids, especially my picky eater, as we struggle to get that kid enough protein, so I love that he can have fairlife, which has lots of protein and no artificial growth hormones, and I can have it too because it is lactose free.

But let’s talk about this tapioca for a second: It is sweet, delicious, and not hard to make. The hardest part is having to beat the egg whites then stir them in. But if you can operate a hand mixer, I have faith you can do it!

But it makes a lot. Go ahead and cut it down if you need to. But trust me, you will want to EAT IT ALL! And it keeps pretty good in the fridge, if it lasts that long!

I always love to top mine with fresh fruit and whipped cream. But plain jane is fantastic too! If you are going to eat it hot, a fun way to enjoy it is with frozen berries. Pour the tapioca over the frozen berries, they will help it cool down, and defrost the berries, for a yummy treat!

    My mom fixed this 2 or 3 times a year on special occasions. Unfortunately my mom past in 2002, and then my son developed lactose intolerance. So I haven’t been able to make it till now. I want to thank you for making this family very happy. God bless. K6
