Oat milk is a smooth, plant-based dairy alternative made from whole oats blended with water and then strained to produce a naturally creamy beverage. It has a mild, slightly sweet, oat-forward flavor and a rich texture that closely mimics traditional milk, making it popular for everyday use.
Lightly fortified varieties may include added calcium, vitamins, or minerals, while barista-style versions are formulated to create stable foam for coffee drinks. Oat milk works well in hot and cold beverages, cereals, smoothies, baking, and cooking, offering a lactose-free, nut-free, and often soy-free option suitable for a wide range of dietary needs.
