About Strawberry milk tea

Strawberry milk tea is a sweet, creamy beverage originating from Taiwan, which is often associated with the popular bubble tea culture. This drink typically combines brewed black or green tea, strawberry flavoring, milk, and sweeteners, often served with tapioca pearls. Depending on its recipe, strawberry milk tea can provide carbohydrates from the sweeteners and tapioca, small amounts of protein from milk, and antioxidants from tea. Fresh strawberries sometimes used in the preparation also contribute a modest amount of vitamins, notably vitamin C, and dietary fiber.

Health Benefits

• Vitamin C from strawberries supports immune function and skin health.
• Polyphenols and catechins in green or black tea provide antioxidant properties that may reduce oxidative stress.
• Calcium from milk supports bone health and muscle function.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains milk, tapioca (if allergic to cassava), possible cross-contamination with nuts in some toppings or flavorings

Suitable for: Vegetarian diets

Not suitable for: Vegan diets (unless made with plant-based milk), diets avoiding added sugars, lactose-intolerant individuals (unless lactose-free milk is used)

Selection and Storage

Consume immediately for optimal freshness or refrigerate for up to 24 hours if homemade. Shake or stir before drinking as ingredients may separate.

Common Questions About Strawberry milk tea Nutrition

How many calories and nutrients are in strawberry milk tea?

Strawberry milk tea typically contains 200-300 calories per 16 oz serving, depending on the sugar level and recipe. It is low in protein, with about 2-4 grams per serving, and provides small amounts of calcium and vitamin C from the milk and strawberry flavoring. However, it is often high in added sugar, sometimes exceeding 30-40 grams per serving.

Is strawberry milk tea suitable for a low-carb or keto diet?

Strawberry milk tea is not typically suitable for a low-carb or keto diet because of its high sugar content, with most versions containing 30-40 grams of net carbs per serving. Keto-friendly versions can be made by using unsweetened almond milk, sugar-free strawberry flavoring, and a keto-approved sweetener like stevia or erythritol.

What are the health benefits or concerns of drinking strawberry milk tea?

Strawberry milk tea can be a refreshing treat, offering small amounts of calcium and vitamin C. However, it is often high in added sugar, which can contribute to weight gain, blood sugar spikes, and other health concerns when consumed excessively. Moderation is key, and customization for lower sugar content is recommended.

What is an appropriate portion size for strawberry milk tea?

A standard portion size for strawberry milk tea is usually a 16 oz serving, which is considered one drink. However, for those monitoring calorie and sugar intake, reducing the portion size to 8-12 oz or requesting less sugar can help keep consumption within healthier limits.

How does strawberry milk tea compare to other flavors of milk tea?

Strawberry milk tea often has a sweeter and fruitier taste compared to traditional milk tea flavors like black or green milk tea. Nutritionally, it can be higher in sugar due to the added fruit syrups or flavorings. Other milk teas, such as those made with unsweetened tea and less syrup, may have fewer calories and carbohydrates.
