28. Chai drinks don’t always mean healthy.
When thinking of chai tea, you would probably think it’s healthy for you, but you would be mistaken. If you were to order a Frozen Vanilla Chai at Dunkin’ Donuts, you wouldn’t be getting a drink that came from a brewed chai tea bag, as you would probably think. Instead, it comes from a powder form, which is where you get the flavor from. It doesn’t sound too appealing now, does it? Who knows all that else is put into it, either, besides the whipped cream and crushed ice.

A Frozen Vanilla Chai contains not only 80 carbohydrates but also 120 milligrams of sodium. It also has 75 grams of sugar. You could brew a tea and mix it into crushed ice and sugar, making your own frozen chai tea drink. That would be a much healthier alternative to this. It would save you some money, too, since you wouldn’t even have to leave your home to make this drink if you already have the ingredients at home to make it.
