Many women often buy a cup of milk tea in the breakfast shop and make a cup of instant milk tea in the afternoon or evening, but do you know that the "milk" added in these fragrant milk teas is liquid milk essence, milk essence powder, milk powder or fresh milk? Which is lower in calories? What kind of nutrients are there? The answer may be beyond your expectation!
Milk tea = black tea+milk! But … what kind of "milk" is this?
Zheng, a nutritionist of Xinying Feeding Generation Team, said that most people know that drinking dairy products or eating dairy products can get good calcium, promote the bone development of children and adolescents, and delay the rate of osteoporosis in adults. However, what is the name of the drink? Milk? This word tastes like milk. Do you think you are drinking fresh milk? That's not true! ? Milk tea? This is such a contradictory drink.
Milk tea is based on black tea and brewed with milk. However, there are various names of milk tea in the market, such as milk tea, fresh milk tea and black tea latte, which always make people confused. What milk is added in it? The following will analyze four kinds of "milk" commonly used in milk tea, including liquid milk essence, milk essence powder, fresh milk and milk powder.
Compare the calories of creamer, creamer powder, fresh milk and milk powder!
According to the food nutrition database of Food and Drug Administration (new edition), the above four kinds of "milk" have the lowest calories. The calories of fresh milk will change slightly with the seasons. The average calorie per100g of whole milk is about 63 calories. At the same weight, the calorie of liquid milk essence is about 260 calories, whole milk powder is about 504 calories, whole milk is about 63 calories, and milk essence powder is about 539 calories. That is to say, in terms of calories, creamer powder > whole milk powder > liquid creamer > whole milk.
However, when drinking milk tea, the average person may add100g of fresh milk, and rarely add creamer, milk powder or creamer powder with the same weight, so the actual calories still depend on the amount added. Generally, a cream ball (10 to15ml) has about 26 to 45 calories, and a spoonful of cream powder (8 to10g) has about 45 to 55 calories.
Milk essence hides four traps: high calorie, saturated fat, trans fatty acids and sugar.
Nutritionist Zheng said that 700 ml sugar-free milk tea (black tea+cream) is about 180 calories, and sugar-free fresh milk tea (black tea+fresh milk) is about 150 calories. The calorie of milk tea is slightly higher than that of fresh milk tea, and long-term intake can easily lead to obesity and fatty liver. In addition, creamer not only has low nutritional value, but also contains potential health risks such as saturated fat, trans fatty acids and sugars.
The main components of creamer are palm oil, coconut oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil, monoglyceride or diglyceride, sugar, spices and so on. Among them, oil content accounts for a large proportion, rich in saturated fat and trans fatty acids, and high in calories. Long-term large-scale consumption is easy to cause cardiovascular and physical burden.
Who is the nutrition champion of fresh milk V.S milk powder?
In contrast, milk tea brewed with fresh milk or milk powder is relatively healthy and has less burden. However, people often wonder: which has higher nutritional value, milk powder or fresh milk? Nutritionist Zheng said that each serving of milk contains 8 grams of protein. If we refer to the food nutrition database and alternative food of Food and Drug Administration, we can find that there is little difference in calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and other nutrients and minerals between whole milk and whole milk powder, but some vitamins may be destroyed by high temperature in the process of spray drying.
However, compared with fresh milk, solid granular milk powder is easier to store, transport and use. People may wish to choose suitable milk powder or fresh milk according to their own needs.
Milk tea controls health, and drinking sugar-free fresh milk tea has less burden.
Nutritionist Zheng suggested that the next time you want to drink milk tea, you can give priority to sugar-free fresh milk tea. This kind of milk tea is healthier than milk tea with liquid milk essence or milk essence powder, and it can get more calcium, vitamins and minerals, while "sugar removal" can avoid getting fat by eating too many calories.
However, people who want to supplement calcium through drinks should simply drink dairy products, and don't mix and match tea at the same time, so as to avoid tannin, theophylline and caffeine in tea chelating calcium in milk and reducing the absorption of calcium in the body. Clever use of time intervals to stagger the drinking time of dairy products and tea, such as drinking milk for breakfast and drinking pure sugar-free tea in the afternoon, can reduce the inhibition of calcium absorption.
Is the milk tea in the breakfast shop a laxative? Most of them are food hygiene problems!
As for drinking milk tea in breakfast shops, it is easy to have diarrhea, which may be related to lactose intolerance or too much cream oil. Nutritionist Zheng said that milk tea soaked in cream does not contain lactose at all, so diarrhea has nothing to do with lactose intolerance.
Although creamer is mainly composed of oil, the oil content of milk tea in breakfast restaurant is about 10g, and the oil content of shredded pork potato cake and iced milk tea in fast food restaurant is about 5.5 portions. If someone drinks milk tea in a breakfast shop and eats a normal breakfast in a fast food restaurant, it means that the cause of diarrhea is not "oil", but food safety and hygiene!
