Bubble tea

The bubbles or pearls in the teas consist of tapioca starch, sweet potato powder, potato powder, or jelly. The tea itself is often sweetened with sugar and sometimes sweetened condensed milk. All these ingredients are high in sugar.

Excessive sugar might result in too much weight gain and gestational diabetes, which is harmful for your baby.
