bubble tea.

Drinking my first bubble tea and I must say...not all that impressed. Kinda bland. Is this the vegan form of a smoothie?

no, just a fun drink from Japan and Korea with huge balls in it!

i've had bad bubble tea before. some places make them too much like some weird smoothie.

Usually it is not vegan. You must have gone to a bad place! The types vary from all fruit to practically milk shakes, and rare places I have encountered have bubble tea that tastes more like tea. Usually they are more flavorful and way more sugary than a smoothie. Hmmm.

they have a farmers market right outside of my work and there was a little stand with 3 korean women making them. i figured id give it a try and ordered the strawberry banana one...and all i taste is milk and ice! :( and i sure hope she didnt lie/i didnt mishear her because she said 'rice milk' and im lactose intolerant! im starting to think this is real milk :(

Oh no! Yeah, usually they use powdered base and it contains dairy, but it sounds like it could be something different if it tasted that bland. I have come across places that make vegan ones with coconut milk.

Hmmm often not vegan (in contrast with smoothies since most of those are!). Although I think delicious! I agree that you must have gone to a bad place.
