I went to like 5-6 different Korean and Japanese supermarkets in the city with no luck. I had to go out of the LA city area and into the suburbs to a 99 Ranch to get the balls. Ridic! As for the balls, these were a lot harder to find. I got the matcha powder at which was A LOT cheaper than at Whole Foods or specialty tea shops. Now tell me guys, if there were a Boba Tea Shop in your city and they sold healthy boba for 60% off the regular price, would you go?Īnd now we both can!!! You can go to your own boba tea shop at home, save money, and save your health! Each ball has anywhere between 7-14 calories and a typical drink has 25-75 balls (depending on how generous your boba drink maker is :))īut you know what, once in a while – it is ok! (Like once a week.) But if you just like the milk tea or are training hard for an event, have the drink without the balls. A serving, 1/4 cup has about 110-130 cals and 34g of carbs. The boba balls are made from the starch of the cassava root and contain a lot of carbs. And that’s what I did here! Honestly, I can’t think of a way to replicate that chewy texture with any other ingredients! And that chewiness is something that MAKES BOBA, well BOBA!! Then I finally realized…okay…if I can at least cut down the sugar and the cals in the liquid part of the drink, I will be ok with the original tapioca balls. I tried cutting up shirataki noodles into ball form. I tried making coconut flour/tapioca flour balls. (I’ve been trying since like February!!) I tried rolling prunes into balls and boiling them. It was absolutely delicious!!! You know what though? The reason why I have been delaying this video was because I literally have been FAILING at making the perfect tapioca pearl substitute. Then drain the balls, add to a cup, then pour the milk tea on top! Make sure the water (about 1/2 cup) is sweetened with 10 drops of liquid stevia. Then for the perfect al dente boba balls, just boil for 3 min. TOTAL: $1.67 and 150 cals VERSUS $4.00 and 400 cals at the store!Īll you need to do is blend the first 4 ingredients in a blender until smooth. Turns out it was! Here’s what you’ll need to make a serving of Matcha Bubble Milk Tea (my favorite flavor) for 150 calories and it only costs $1.67! That’s 60% off the regular price at the boba store!ġ TBS of matcha powder (0 cals, 29 cents) – get it at ġ0 drops of liquid stevia for sweetening (0 cals, 3 cents)ġ/4 cup boba balls (110 cals, 60 cents) + 10 drops of stevia (0 cals, 3 cents) This was definitely a case that I needed to investigate for Cheap Clean Eats. Unfortunately though, a drink like this has 400 calories and over 54g of sugar! About $4 a drink. With chewy tapioca pearls swimming in a blend of sweet milky goodness and an oversized straw to top of off – ah – it is incredibly addictive!! It’s traditionally a Taiwanese dessert drink. If you’re Asian or live in an area with a lot of Asian people, you’ve probably heard of bubble milk tea. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).One of my most favorite YOLO drinks in the world is bubble milk tea. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
