Drinking a smoothie to cool down? Sugar content equal to 1 cup of bubble milk

In the summer, you need cold drinks to cool down, but did you know that a refreshing Frappuccino smoothie contains the same amount of sugar as a 700cc cup of bubble milk tea? Don't think that adding ice cubes to your drink will reduce the calories. The British Sunday Mirror recently reported that a large cup of Frappuccino contains 20 spoons of sugar, equivalent to 76.2 grams, far exceeding the recommended daily amount of 45 grams. A cup of Frappuccino with more than 600 calories is close to a cup of 700c.c. bubble milk tea (about 710 calories).

Drinks such as Frappuccino, milkshakes, and smoothies that contain ice, ice cream, and fructose are always popular in the summer. However, surveys show that the sugar content of many of these smoothie drinks on the market actually exceeds the recommended daily intake for adults. In addition, adding a lot of fresh cream on the smoothie, and adding pudding, pearls or other food textures into it will make the calories soar even higher. For example, a cup of Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino has 76.2 grams of sugar and an average of more than 450 calories, and some are even as high as more than 600 calories.

Drink bomb smoothies, bubble tea high calories

The amount of sugar consumed by drinking a Frappuccino is equivalent to 31 cream biscuits and 2 chocolate bars. The 600-plus calories are close to a 700c.c. cup of bubble milk tea (about 710 calories). However, most people don't usually notice this when drinking. In addition, many beverage shops and restaurants now add jelly and pudding-like foods to smoothies to increase the taste and chewiness, which invisibly increases the calories of the drink.

In addition to Frappuccino, the calories in general hand-shaken beverage shops are also quite alarming. According to past survey data from the Tung Foundation, seemingly ordinary drinks such as honey grapefruit tea and traditional winter melon tea in beverage shops have very high sugar content. 700cc contains 126 grams of sugar (equivalent to 25 sugar cubes), far exceeding the 45-gram daily intake limit recommended by the Department of Health.

Quitting sugary drinks and drinking sugar-free tea can also relieve heat and reduce aging

If you want to cool down and have a drink to quench your thirst, you don't have to go out and buy sweet and fattening drinks. You can choose mint tea, herbal tea and other caffeine-free drinks that are refreshing and cooling, or homemade honey lemon water, which can promote metabolism. The sweetness of natural honey is healthier than fructose, and it also has the effect of nourishing the skin and beautifying the skin.
