Oat milk is prepared by blending oats and water, and straining out the pulp.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, oat milk is naturally dairy-free and often fortified with various nutrients.
It also has fibre, is gentle on digestion and is allergy-friendly.
However, it's often high in added sugar, carbs and calories. It also has low protein.
Its high-carb content can cause blood sugar spikes and digestive issues such as gas and bloating.
During oat milk processing, it often becomes contaminated with gluten as well.
Buy unsweetened, fortified oat milk if you want its true benefits.
