About Oat milk coffee

Oat milk coffee is a popular plant-based beverage that combines oat milk, a dairy-free milk alternative made from oats, with coffee. Originating from the increasing demand for plant-based alternatives, oat milk is widely favored for its creamy texture and natural sweetness, complementing the robust flavors of coffee. Oat milk is naturally free from lactose, nuts, and soy, making it a versatile option for those with dietary restrictions. Nutritionally, a typical serving of oat milk contains around 120 calories, 3 grams of protein, and is often fortified with calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. Coffee provides antioxidants, particularly chlorogenic acid, which supports cell health. Together, these ingredients create a nourishing and satisfying beverage that supports plant-based living while offering essential nutrients.

Health Benefits

• Supports bone health due to the fortification of calcium and vitamin D in oat milk.
• Boosts energy and focus, as coffee contains caffeine, which stimulates mental alertness.
• Provides heart-friendly benefits through beta-glucan fiber found in oats, known to help lower cholesterol levels.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten (if oats used are not certified gluten-free)

Suitable for: Vegan, vegetarian, lactose-free

Not suitable for: Gluten-free (unless using certified gluten-free oats), low-caffeine diets

Selection and Storage

Store oat milk in the refrigerator and consume within 7–10 days of opening. Brew coffee fresh for optimal flavor and aroma.

Common Questions About Oat milk coffee Nutrition

Is oat milk coffee high in protein?

Oat milk coffee is relatively low in protein compared to drinks made with cow's milk or soy milk. Most oat milk contains about 1-3 grams of protein per cup, and the coffee itself adds little to no protein. If you're looking for a higher-protein option, consider adding protein powder.

Can I drink oat milk coffee on a keto diet?

Oat milk coffee is generally not keto-friendly because most oat milk varieties contain carbohydrates, with around 15-20 grams of carbs per cup. If you are on a keto diet, opt for unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk in your coffee instead.

What are the health benefits or concerns of drinking oat milk coffee?

Oat milk coffee offers benefits like being dairy-free, cholesterol-free, and lower in saturated fat than coffee made with cow's milk. Oat milk also provides small amounts of fiber and vitamins like B12 if fortified. However, flavored or sweetened oat milk can add extra sugar and calories, which may be a concern for some individuals.

How much oat milk should I use in my coffee?

A typical serving size for oat milk in coffee is about 1/4 to 1/2 cup (or 2-4 ounces), depending on your taste preference. This adds around 30-60 calories if you're using unsweetened oat milk, but sweetened varieties can add more. Adjust based on creaminess and sweetness preferences.

How does oat milk coffee compare to almond milk coffee?

Oat milk coffee is creamier and has a naturally sweeter, richer taste than almond milk coffee, making it a popular choice for lattes. In terms of nutrition, almond milk is lower in calories and carbohydrates, with about 30 calories and 1-2 grams of carbs per cup (unsweetened), compared to oat milk's 120 calories and 15-20 grams of carbs per cup.
