Many brands have “extra creamy” variations that have more added fat. Most use sunflower oil for the fat, but Chobani and Oatly use rapeseed oil and Open Nature uses canola oil. Nearly all also use gellan gum to help stabilize and thicken the liquid.

Our top pick, the Chobani Plain Extra Creamy Oatmilk is nearly perfect in this regard: It's just good.

Oats are used for human consumption as oatmeal and rolled oats. Oats are a nutrient-rich food associated with lower blood cholesterol and reduced risk of human heart disease when consumed regularly. One of the most common uses of oats is as livestock feed. Avenins are oat gluten proteins, similar to gliadin in wheat.

Oat milk is a healthy option because it's an easy-to-digest, low-fat, low-sugar drink that supplies healthy fibre and essential vitamins and minerals.

“Many consumers prefer oat milk because of its neutral taste and similar mouthfeel to cow's milk,” she says. “This familiar texture makes it popular among those who want to make a switch to plant-based milks.”

One cup of the popular Oatly brand's original version has little saturated fat (0.5 grams) and slightly fewer calories than whole milk (120 versus 146), but has 7 grams of added sugars (plain milk has none) and only 3 grams of protein (plain milk has 8 grams).

In certain ways, oat milk is healthier than other milk options. But in some other ways, it's lacking. For example, oat milk has more fiber than cow's milk or nut-based milk. An average cup of oat milk has about two grams of fiber.

Studies show that oats and oatmeal have many health benefits. These include weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, and a reduced risk of heart disease. Oats are among the healthiest grains on earth. They're a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.

In terms of nutrition, oat milk has healthy fats, protein, fibre, is low-sugar and, especially the fortified varieties, high in vitamins. On the other hand, cow's milk has mostly unhealthy fats, no fibre, some protein, is higher in sugar (lactose) and much harder to digest because many people are lactose-intolerant.
