Oat milk is a plant-based milk alternative made from blending whole oat groats with water and then straining the liquid. It's become increasingly popular in recent years due to its:
Creamy texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor: Oat milk has a thicker, creamier consistency than some other plant-based milks like almond milk, making it a good choice for cereal or coffee drinks.
Versatility: Oat milk can be enjoyed on its own, used in cereal, smoothies, baking, or frothed for creamy cappuccinos and lattes. There are also flavored varieties like chocolate or vanilla.
Dietary needs: Oat milk is naturally dairy-free, lactose-free, and vegan-friendly. It also contains some fiber and beta-glucans, which may offer some health benefits.
