Unsweetened oat milk is made by blending oats with water and straining, producing a naturally slightly sweet, creamy plant milk. It provides small amounts of beta-glucan soluble fibre from the oats and is typically fortified with calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. Its carbohydrate content is higher than most plant milks due to the oats, but its protein is moderate (~1g/100ml) and it is the most nutritionally rounded non-soya plant milk available.
The best dairy alternative for barista-style frothing — oat milk steams and foams better than most plant milks. Check for fortification; choose unsweetened versions for daily use. Not suitable for those with oat intolerance or coeliac disease unless certified gluten-free.
