About Oat milk iced latte

An oat milk iced latte is a cold beverage made by combining chilled espresso or strong coffee with oat milk, a popular plant-based alternative to dairy. Originating as part of the modern plant-based movement, oat milk gained popularity due to its creamy texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. This drink is widely enjoyed across Western cuisines and coffee cultures. Nutritionally, oat milk provides about 120 calories per cup (unsweetened version) and is typically fortified with calcium, vitamin D, and B12. It is also a source of beta-glucans, a type of soluble fiber known for its heart health benefits, making it a nutritious and lactose-free alternative to traditional dairy-based lattes.

Health Benefits

• Supports heart health due to beta-glucans, which can help lower LDL cholesterol levels.
• Provides bone health support from fortified calcium and vitamin D content in most oat milk products.
• Improves energy metabolism and red blood cell production due to the presence of vitamin B12, particularly in fortified oat milk.

Dietary Considerations

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

Suitable for: Vegans, vegetarians, lactose-intolerant individuals

Not suitable for: Gluten-sensitive individuals (if using regular oat milk), those with oat allergies

Selection and Storage

Store oat milk in the refrigerator and consume within 7-10 days of opening. Chill espresso and mix with oat milk just before serving for maximum freshness.

Common Questions About Oat milk iced latte Nutrition

How many calories and protein are in an oat milk iced latte?

An oat milk iced latte typically contains around 120-150 calories per 8 oz serving, depending on the amount of oat milk and any added sweetener. It has about 2-3 grams of protein per serving, primarily from the oat milk.

Is oat milk iced latte suitable for a keto diet?

An oat milk iced latte is generally not suitable for a keto diet because oat milk is relatively high in carbohydrates, with about 16-20 grams of carbs per cup. For a keto-friendly option, consider substituting oat milk with almond or coconut milk.

What are the health benefits of drinking an oat milk iced latte?

Oat milk iced lattes are dairy-free and typically vegan, making them a good choice for people with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies. Oat milk contains beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber that may support heart health by helping regulate cholesterol levels. However, store-bought oat milk can sometimes contain added sugars, so check the label if managing sugar intake.

What is a recommended serving size for an oat milk iced latte?

A recommended serving size of an oat milk iced latte is about 8-12 ounces if consumed as a beverage alongside a meal or snack. You can adjust the amount of oat milk, sweeteners, or coffee to match your dietary needs and calorie preferences.

How does an oat milk iced latte compare to one made with almond milk?

Oat milk typically has a creamier texture than almond milk, making oat milk iced lattes richer in flavor. However, almond milk is lower in calories (around 30-50 per cup) and carbohydrates (1-2 grams per cup), which might be preferable for those on low-carb diets. Oat milk has a slightly higher protein content compared to almond milk (2-3 grams vs. 1 gram per cup).
