How many calories does boba have. Boba tea with 
tapioca pearls, are often high in calories and  

00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:11.280
carbohydrates but low in other nutrients
A typical 16-ounce boba milk tea contains  

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:17.100
about 200 to 450 calories. The tapioca 
pearls themselves contribute around 100 to  

00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:23.760
150 calories per 1/4 cup serving, primarily from 
carbohydrates with almost no protein or fiber.

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:28.380
In addition to the pearls, the calorie 
content in boba comes from added sugar,  

00:00:28.380 --> 00:00:31.620
milk or non-dairy creamer, and flavored syrups.

00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:35.580
These ingredients may contribute 
additional calories, sugars, and fats,  

00:00:35.580 --> 00:00:40.080
but generally provide little to no vitamins, 
minerals, or other essential nutrients.

00:00:40.080 --> 00:00:44.220
While boba can be an enjoyable 
treat, it's essential to consume  

00:00:44.220 --> 00:00:48.300
it in moderation due to its high-calorie 
content and limited nutritional value.
