About Oat milk cappuccino

Oat milk cappuccino is a dairy-free coffee beverage made by blending espresso with steamed oat milk and topped with foam. Originating from the rise of plant-based milks in Western cuisines, oat milk became a popular alternative due to its creamy texture and neutral taste, making it ideal for coffee drinks like cappuccino. Oat milk itself is made from soaked oats and water, naturally offering a lower fat content compared to traditional dairy milk. A typical oat milk cappuccino contains fewer calories and less saturated fat than its dairy counterpart while providing some fiber and nutrients like B-vitamins, calcium (in fortified versions), and iron.

Health Benefits

• Rich in beta-glucan soluble fiber from oats, which supports heart health and lowers cholesterol levels.
• Contains B-vitamins like riboflavin and B12 (in fortified oat milk), which assist in energy metabolism.
• Low in saturated fat, promoting cardiovascular health compared to full-fat dairy milk-based cappuccinos.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten (if oat milk is not certified gluten-free)

Suitable for: Vegan, lactose-free

Not suitable for: Gluten-free (unless using certified gluten-free oat milk), low-carb diets

Selection and Storage

Store oat milk in the refrigerator and consume before the expiration date. Avoid overheating oat milk during preparation to prevent a grainy texture.

Is oat milk cappuccino healthy for you?
