Enjoy in Moderation

You shouldn’t completely give up boba or your favorite drink – we would rather you be aware of what you are consuming and how it could affect you long term. Ultimately we can all benefit from less added sugar consumption to improve our health.

To do so, here are a few things you can do:

Tips on Creating Healthier Drinks!

• Ask your favorite boba shop if they offer no-sugar, 1/4 sugar, and 1/2 sugar options. If those options don’t exist, ask the store if they’ll start that practice.
• Find lower-sugar versions of your favorite drinks at the market, and drink them in moderation.

• Drink water: It’s perfect for quenching your thirst!   Grab a reusable bottle and carry water with you when you can.
  • Infused Water Recipes
  • Green Tea
  • Match
  • Soybean drinks
  • Asian Inspired Sparking Water → Genki Forest
  • Adding a splash of 100% fruit juice to sparkling water
• Slowly break the habit of purchasing drinks with high amounts of added sugars! Instead, keep water or water bottles around for convenience!  
• Read the Nutrition Facts label to choose drinks low in calories, added sugars, and saturated fat.
