Oat Milk

Oat milk is a plant-based, dairy-free beverage made by blending oats (typically rolled or steel-cut oats) with water, then straining the mixture to remove the solids. The resulting liquid has a creamy texture and mild, slightly sweet flavour. 

Ingredients:

• Water, gluten-free oats (8%), canola oil (2%), salt, calcium carbonate, tricalcium citrate, acidity regulator (potassium citrate). 

How to use:

•  Commonly used as a milk substitute in coffee, cereals, smoothies, baking, and cooking.

Health benefits:

• Oat milk (especially unfiltered varieties) may retain some of this fibre, contributing to improved cardiovascular health. 
• Ideal for people with lactose intolerance, milk allergies, or those following a vegan or plant-based diet.
