How Does Oat Milk Stack Up?

4/15/2020

Plant-based milks are hugely popular and one of their rising stars is oat milk. It offers a unique blend of advantages over some of the other types of plant-based milks and has the texture and taste people are after. But how does it compare to almond milk and 2% dairy milk?

• How It’s Made: Steel cut oats or whole grain groats (hulled kernels of grain) are soaked in water, blended, and strained to create oat milk.

• Fiber: Because some of the oats make it into the milk, so does some of the fiber content. It’s not much, but oat milk typically has a gram or two more fiber than almond milk. Dairy milk doesn’t contain fiber.

• Protein: One cup of oat milk typically has more protein than almond milk, but less than dairy milk. Yielding 3g for oat milk, almond milk usually has 1g, and dairy milk has 8g.

• Calcium: Oat milk is the lowest for calcium at 25% DV, with dairy milk at 30%, and almond milk at 35-45%.

• Calories: Unsweetened oat milk comes in right around 100 calories for one cup, which is the same as 2% dairy milk. Unsweetened almond milk comes in much lower at 35 calories.

• Allergen-free: Oat milk is great for people with food allergies as it’s nut-free, dairy-free, vegan, and typically gluten-free (check the labels to be sure).

• Versatility: Oat milk is richer and creamier than almond milk and works better in cooking and baking. Its texture and richness has made it a big hit among coffee enthusiasts. The taste is slightly sweet and most agree it’s closer to dairy milk.

A plant-based milk alternative, Oat Milk, is formed by soaking, blending and straining oats soaked in water. It is a vegan-friendly milk substitute, with artificially infused nutrients like iron and vitamins A & D.

    Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years.   My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday.  Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change.   Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds.  I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons.  Something was missing.  I was thin, but I wasn't fit.  I wasn't healthy.  I could feel it in my insides.  I was 136 pounds and a size 8.  Something didn't add up.   I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods.  90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4). 
     
    Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it.  I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health.  My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

    December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born.  Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you.   Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN.  Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose. 

    Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business.  Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at amanda@simplypreppedmeals.com
