Boba Smoothie Serving and Storage
Smoothies should be served and enjoyed right after being made. Cooked boba pearls should be consumed within 8-10 hours of being cooked. On their own, boba pearls need to be kept at room temperature or a bit warmer, if possible. Never store cooked boba pearls in the refrigerator or freezer!
