Bubble Tea

crystalgriffon · 05-13-2010, 05:20 PM

Hello! I'm trying to find the carb count of Bubble tea. I tried at a vender in the mall. It was so good! It was a small cup (smaller than Starbucks small), and I only drank half because it was very sweet.

"bubbles" - Tapioca balls

The lady said there was no added sugar other than honey - which I consider is a natural sugar. She also said it was regular creamer used.

Can anyone help me out? I havn't had hardly any carbs today so I indulged. Next time I plan on asking for little or no honey.

Don't beat yourself up...Yes you are eating Low Carb, but Look how well you've done! An occaisional splurge may actually keep you on track vs. falling off the wagon!! *fingers Crossed*

LOL! This is true....It was very good, and I passed up cookie cake at the mall and enchiladas at my BF's dad's house. =D I felt really sick today, and it did cheer me up! lol Thanks scandalouslyglam!

Hi crystal…

Bubble tea is fun - we make a kid's version with a big blob of Chia gel in Crystal Lite and hand em a straw...I tell them it's frog eggs or frog eyes.

If you make a thick gel (6:1 ratio or thicker) it makes nice little treats to the mouth like a mini-version of the bubbles in bubble tea - with virtually no carbs.

You are fine. A small is probably 12 oz or less...

Holy cow thats a big carb count

I was hoping it would be a bit lower because I love those things. I could never just drink half either.

WOW! What a neat idea!!!! I'm a crazy tea-a-holic lol! So I would use maybe a spicy chai tea instead of the crystal Lite. The drink was so sweet that I couldn't drink the rest if I tried lol!! It definitly would make a fun kids' drink =D
