Oat Milk
Oat milk has a mild, slightly sweet flavor that substitutes well for
low-fat or skim 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 flavor 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.
