[Mr. Son appears] Hello, everyone - this is Sejong Son, the dietitian
It's getting warmer and warmer every day
Doesn't something pop into your mind in a weather like this?
That's right - cold beverages for the summer
When we talk about summer beverages
There's this certain cafe we all love, right?
Starbucks!
But there's one slight problem
Summer beverages are good and all
[High-calorie drinks] Most of these drinks are higher in calories than you think
Keep chugging them down due to their taste, and you know you'll regret it later
[Even the tiniest weight gained is more visible in summer] As you all know, our clothes tend to get lighter during summer
Put on a slight weight, and whole neighborhood's going to know!
So, today, I have prepared
A list of beverages that you can have without having to worry about calories
[Today's topic] Four Starbucks drinks that will help your diet!
Nowadays, people are so interested in maintaining a healthy diet
That the corporations now have a trend of letting the consumers know what exactly they're having
Which means that it's far from difficult to find out yourself
See here, how on Starbucks App and its official website
You can check each drink's nutritional value
A question!
What do you think is the most important part, of this nutritional data?
I assume most of the people would think
'How much calories?' as the number one answer
That isn't wrong, but it's not 100% correct either
Calories is important indeed
[Sodium, fat, sugar, caffeine, protein] But we need to check the overall balance
I'll give you an example
Iced americano - an essential for summer days
It's often picked as the 'diet drink', thanks to its low calories
Truly - it has low calories of 10kcal
However, a more important thing to notice would be that
It contains 0g of fat and sugar
The two main culprits of increasing body fat
It also contains 150mg of caffeine
We consume them before workout, due to its caffeine
Indeed, if you ingest caffeine before or while working out
It facilitates the body's metabolism
Fastening the removal of excess body fat
Drinking coffee increases the frequency of using the bathroom, right
It's actually helping us get rid of the unnecessary materials from our body
Good for blood circulation
But while americanos are low in calories
We still need to take care not to exceed 400mg of caffeine
Which is the recommended daily threshold of caffeine intake
In my opinion, one or two cups would suffice
Would you like to order?
Alright, so far it has been a nice warm-up
I did my research of studying Starbucks beverages
So, for those who are on a diet or
Looking for healthy drinks for everyday consumption
I’ve selected a few drinks
[Diet-friendly drink recommendations] I’ll introduce them according to your preferences
For those who want a definite weight loss?
There are types of tea with zero sugar and zero calories
They include teas made from organic Jeju green tea, Earl Grey tea
English Breakfast tea, mint blend tea
Chamomile blend tea, and hibiscus blend tea
These drinks fall into that category
Look at the nutritional content, and if caffeine is a concern
You can choose caffeine-free teas
You’ve heard that herbal teas are good for you
So today, I’ll recommend a somewhat unfamiliar
But healthy tea
It’s iced youthberry tea
Youthberry tea is made with yellow tea from Jeju tea leaves
And it contains apple, hibiscus, mango, pineapple, and rosehip
Giving it a sweet and sour berry flavor
Yellow tea is rich in polyphenols
Which are antioxidants
And it helps improve skin, prevent aging, and break down fats
So it’s especially good for dieting
And it’s great for women who are interested in skin care
Let me try the youthberry tea
It looks red, similar to omija tea
(Tasting time)
And it has a sweet and pleasant berry flavor
But I noticed that some people don't like it
(Some say it tastes like medicine or is too bland)
Usually, teas have
A bit of bitter taste towards the end
But youthberry tea, true to its name, has a sweet berry flavor
That makes it enjoyable for everyone
[Recommended for those who like carbonated drinks!] Secondly, for those who like carbonated drinks
There’s the cool lime fizzio
This drink is a carbonated beverage with a lime base and green bean extract
Providing a refreshing, fizzy sensation
The main ingredient here, green bean
Refers to freshly harvested, unroasted coffee beans
Green beans are rich in chlorogenic acid
A substance with antioxidant properties
Which helps reduce body fat and prevent inflammation
However, because it contains caffeine, unlike regular sodas
Pregnant women and children should consume it with caution!
(Tasting time)
Because of the sparkling, fizzy taste
[Similar to mojitos among cocktails] It has a sweet and sour flavor
Plus, since it contains caffeine
It’s perfect for lunchtime or when you feel like having coffee
Recommended as a substitute for coffee
Would you like a cup of coffee?
Next, for those who cannot give up on sweets
I recommend Nitro Vanilla Cream
When drinking iced coffee, like vanilla latte and caramel macchiato
Some people like coffee with sweet syrup, right?
But the feeling hits you when you drink it
The sweetness spreading in your veins
(Feeling fat already) It's good, but you can feel it fattening you
The latte sorts with syrup
Apart from the sugar
The other nutrients in them aren't good as well
As you can see, the content of saturated fat, which isn't good for our body is
Relatively high
On the other hand, this has clearly lower calories
And the contents of sodium, sugar, and saturated fat are low
It has vanilla cream
So it is doubtful that the calories are so low
I think I'll be able to have it with less guilt
This is nitro cold brew coffee
It is made by putting nitrogen into cold brew
When ordered at the store, it was made like draft beer
Which was very fascinating
You can drink this straight from the cup without using a straw
(Tasting time)
It surely
Swallows very smoothly
It's a weak vanilla latte
This drink has a drawback
It has low calories and tastes good
But it is not sold in every Starbucks store
So you have to check the application before you go and buy it
Personally, saturated fat leaves a little bit of regret
For those on a tight diet
It would be better to avoid it
[Recommended for everyday constant diet!] For those who are planning on a long diet period
You can have it relaxingly
Lastly, because it's summer, people are losing appetite
As a substitute for a meal
[Recommended for a meal's substitute when have no appetite] I recommend a refreshing fruity drink
Mango Banana Blended
It is made with mango passionfruit juice
And putting a whole banana in it
[Sufficient to substitute for a meal due to satiety] Rather than a drink for dessert
You can have it as a substitute for breakfast or dinner
And you'll be able to feel full and satisfied
(Tasting time)
Everyone knows what it tastes like, right?
The tastes already known are dangerous
Because you never get tired of it
I think you’ll be full if you drink all of this
Especially banana and mango are
Rich in carbohydrates and dietary fiber
Which make your bowel movement easy
Probably the ones who eat less for diet
You’re suffering from constipation, aren’t you?
This may make you feel better at those times
This one is only sold in grande size (473ml)
So compared to basic tall size ones (355ml)
It’s higher in calories
Fruit drinks are a must in the summer
But, those have high calories or sugar so it’s not easy to drink when you’re on a diet
If you’re not in a harsh diet
[Daily diet] Going on a diet in easy mood for daily
Or when you pick this as a quick and healthy meal
That would be a good choice
[Iced Youthberry Brewed Tea] For ones who are on a serious diet or skin care
- Polyphenols to improve skin, prevent aging, and break down fat - Sweet and sour with a berry scent
[Cool Lime Fizzio] For ones looking for something to drink instead of soda or coffee
- Antioxidants to reduce body fat and prevent inflammation - Cool and refreshing
[Nitro Vanilla Cream] For ones who can never give up sweets
- Lower calories, sugar, and fat compared to regular syrup coffee - Smooth texture
[Mango Banana Blended] For ones who wants to have a healthy meal, when you have no appetite in the summer
- Rich in dietary fiber, which makes you feel full and helps with bowel movements - Sweet and fresh
Today we talked about Starbucks diet drinks
How was it?
It's going to be very hot and humid this summer
When you're thirsty, there's a variety of summer drinks
But the best one is drinking water!
Basically by drinking enough water
It’s important to hydrate your body
I think it'd be good to eat the drinks
I recommended earlier as snacks
If you choose drinks that help you lose weight
in Starbucks
And then eat desserts such as cakes and bread
You know it’s all in vain?
[If you have any questions, please ask in the comments!] Have a healthy meal based on what you learned today!
I hope you take care of your health with some fun
See you next time! Bye!
