Step 1
Start by greasing a saucepan with some coconut oil and heating it over medium. Toss in the rhubarb and cook it until it begins to soften, adding a splash of water if it looks too dry. This should take about 10 minutes. Then, stir in the raspberries and a packet of stevia, letting everything cook together until the sauce is nice and smooth, around 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2
Next, fill a pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Add the tapioca and let it simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently for about a minute. Turn the heat down to low and keep simmering until the tapioca turns completely translucent, which usually takes 5 to 8 minutes.

Step 3
While the tapioca cooks, blend the coconut milk, dates, maca powder, and vanilla extract until you get a smooth mixture.

Step 4
Once the tapioca is ready, strain it through a fine mesh sieve and pour it back into the pot over low heat. Stir in the coconut milk mixture along with another packet of stevia. Let it simmer gently until the porridge thickens and most of the liquid is absorbed—about 5 more minutes.

Step 5
Spoon the porridge into glasses or bowls and top each with the raspberry-rhubarb sauce. Enjoy!
