Ingredients

• 2 cups Sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup Purple yam (ube), peeled and diced
• 1 cup Banana (preferably saba or plantain), sliced
• 1 cup Taro root, peeled and diced
• 1 cup Young coconut meat, sliced
• 2 cups Pure coconut milk
• 2 cups Water
• 3 tablespoons Date syrup
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, combine coconut milk and water, and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced sweet potatoes, purple yam, taro root, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until the root vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Add the sliced banana and young coconut meat to the pot. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the bananas are tender.

Step 4

Stir in the date syrup for a hint of natural sweetness. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary, ensuring it complies with Whole30 guidelines.

Step 5

Sprinkle chia seeds into the pot, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients.

Step 6

Simmer the mixture for an additional 5-10 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together while the chia seeds slightly thicken the mixture.

Step 7

Once the mixture is thick and creamy, remove it from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 8

Serve warm in bowls, optionally garnishing with additional slices of banana or a sprinkle of chia seeds for texture.
