                                A single, standard 16-ounce boba milk tea can contain anywhere from 250 to over 500 calories, with some larger or more indulgent versions containing even more. While the tea base itself is virtually calorie-free, the other ingredients dramatically increase the total calorie and sugar content, making it less of a simple drink and more of a dessert.
