carbohydrates but low in other nutrients A typical 16-ounce boba milk tea contains  

about 200 to 450 calories. The tapioca  pearls themselves contribute around 100 to  

150 calories per 1/4 cup serving, primarily from  carbohydrates with almost no protein or fiber.

In addition to the pearls, the calorie  content in boba comes from added sugar,  

milk or non-dairy creamer, and flavored syrups.

These ingredients may contribute  additional calories, sugars, and fats,  

but generally provide little to no vitamins,  minerals, or other essential nutrients.

While boba can be an enjoyable  treat, it's essential to consume  

it in moderation due to its high-calorie  content and limited nutritional value.
