With summer in full swing, it’s hard not to want to eat a nice cold dessert like fried tempura ice cream during the hot afternoons! But if you’re watching your weight ice cream might not be such a good choice…
Instead, try out these two “almost” zero calories to get you through the hot summer days!
The Japanese are masters of creating delicious treats that are almost always too beautiful to eat! Raindrop cake is probably the cutest dessert we have seen from Japan. It is clear and looks exactly like a raindrop and the best part about it? It’s zero calories. Made from agar powder and water, it does not contain any calories. However, if you want to add flavor to it, you can use kinako powder and black sugar syrup which will add some calories but still keeps the dessert on the low-calorie side!
Next up on our list is crystal boba! Also called white pearls, this refers to a very specific type of bubble tea pearls. Rather than being like tapioca pearls which are gelatinous and chewy, crystal pearls are more jelly-like and a lot less calorific than regular tapioca pearls! Substitute these in your next cup of bubble tea and enjoy it with less guilt in the summer.
