Tapioca Pudding
Breakfast can be a real struggle for those adhering to the Autoimmune Paleo diet. Without nuts and seeds, most of the free from products go out the window. Enter tapioca pudding! Tapioca is a starch extracted from cassava root, which is not only AIP friendly, but also linked to a number of health benefits. Most commonly found in powder form, but also available in flakes, or pearls as this recipe calls for. We suggest soaking your pearls overnight to cut down on prep time in the morning. If you're anything like me, breakfast needs to be in my belly within 20 minutes of waking up in the morning, leaving no time for lengthy recipes!
