What is Oat Milk?
Oat milk is a vegan-friendly and lactose free alternative to cow’s milk. It’s basically made from oats and water blended together, then strained to leave the pulp. The milk can be consumed at this point or you can add some natural sweetners such as cinnamon or vanilla, for extra flavor.
If created correctly, it will have a creamy texture with high amounts of protein and fiber. After creating it, there is typically some leftover pulp. You can use it to make a face mask or bake them into cookies.
