As more and more people focus on their health and try to change their past unhealthy eating habits, restaurants and cafes that focus on “vegan” options are becoming more popular. We have previously recommended 5 vegetarian cafes. After filling up on vegetarian dishes, how can you resist a drink that brings the same sense of happiness and satisfaction, making the whole dining experience even more complete? Besides food being made entirely vegan, it turns out that drinks can also be prepared in a vegan way. The following two newly opened local drink shops are known for their vegan options, allowing you to taste delicious Taiwanese-style drinks without any guilt!
純素珍珠奶茶： Mother Pearl 圓貝
High in sugar and calories, pearl milk tea has always been a big taboo for those trying to lose weight. Even if the desire to drink it is strong, for the sake of losing weight, one can only endure. However, the new pearl milk tea shop Mother Pearl, which recently opened in Central, has subverted the notion that pearl milk tea leads to weight gain. They have created a vegan pearl milk tea using healthy ingredients, allowing everyone to drink it without worrying about gaining weight!
All drinks from Mother Pearl are made with natural sweeteners such as coconut sugar, Lakanto monk fruit sugar, and black sugar syrup with a low glycemic index, replacing refined sugar. They are then paired with their own homemade 100% plant-based mylk such as gluten-free oat milk, almond milk, and hemp milk to create a fully vegan pearl milk tea. Additionally, beneficial ingredients such as chia seeds, activated charcoal, turmeric, and acai berries are added to the drinks to enhance nutritional intake, making pearl milk tea no longer an “evil drink”!
In addition, Mother Pearl also sells a variety of vegetarian light meals such as spinach and mushroom pies, matcha oat crisps, and super bowls, which are also worth a try for vegetarian enthusiasts!
