Oat Milk

Oat_Milk.jpg

Oat milk has a mild, slightly sweet flavour that substitutes well for low-fat or skimmed milk.

Made from oat groats (hulled grain broken into fragments), filtered water, and other grains and beans, including triticale, barley, brown rice, and soybeans, oat milk has a light texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavour that substitutes well for low-fat or fat-free milk. Oat milk is 100 percent lactose free and suitable for those with dairy sensitivities.

Varieties

Oat milk is available in plain, flavored, and fortified varieties.

Buying and storing tips

Look for oat milk in cartons, either on the shelves or in the refrigerated section of natural foods stores and grocery stores. Oat milk will keep for seven to ten days; refrigerate after opening. For an extended shelf life and optimal taste, refrigerate overnight before opening.

Availability

Oat milk is available year-round.

Preparation, uses, and tips

In addition to drinking it straight from a glass, oat milk can be poured on breakfast cereals or puréed with frozen berries or bananas for a refreshing smoothie.
