These Bubble Tea drink shops are popping up everywhere. Son K and I shared this delicious Sago Taro Milk Tea the other day, requesting 30% sugar. It was delicious. The sago are small tapioca balls that you see floating on the bottom. Then I googled the nutrition information for tapioca balls. Tapioca is pure starch extracted from the cassava root, albeit gluten free. So a cup of those balls amounts to 540 calories, a carb counter's nightmare. Delicious as it is, I think I will avoid these drinks in the future.
It is Chinese New Year today, Happy New Year if you celebrate, the year of the Rooster.

Glad you enjoyed it! We used to get tapioca served as a desert at school dinners, and I did not like it. We used to call it 'Frog-spawn'. Hugs, Valerie
Thanks for sharing, but must admit - not my type of drink.
I'll just stick with my 'breakfast tea', milk and no sugar!
Happy Chinese New Year ...
Good wishes for the weekend too!
All the best Jan
I love those drinks, but only have them very occasionally because of the calories. Happy Chinese New Year to you as well!
My daughters have tried bubble tea but I never have. I'm not sure I can survive the guilt of 540 calories!
Happy you were able to enjoy this one Christine...I'd think twice before having another one :D

I've never tried that
I'd go into sugar shock for sure. They do look neat though.
That looks yummy, but I avoid the balls now too.
