Tag: Popping boba sugar

A 30-gram serving of popping boba, or about two tablespoons, generally contains around 30 to 35 calories. These small, fruit-filled spheres are a popular bubble tea topping known for their unique burst of flavor, and significantly lower calorie count compared to their chewy counterparts. However, the total calorie intake can vary depending on the specific brand and additional ingredients in your drink or dessert.

According to the American Heart Association, men should consume no more than 36 grams of added sugar daily and women, no more than 25 grams. A single lychee boba can contain anywhere from 20 to over 50 grams of sugar, often exceeding these daily limits in just one drink. This reveals that the seemingly light and fruity beverage can be a surprising source of concentrated sugar.
