About Tea with oat milk

Tea with oat milk is a popular beverage that combines the richness of tea, a staple with deep roots in cultures worldwide, with the creamy, plant-based goodness of oat milk. While tea itself originated in ancient China, this variation is particularly prominent in Western and modern vegan-friendly cuisines. Nutritionally, tea is rich in antioxidants like catechins, while oat milk adds fiber, B vitamins (particularly B2 and B12 when fortified), and a small amount of healthy fats and carbohydrates. Unsweetened oat milk typically contains about 120 calories per cup, depending on the brand, and provides a lactose-free alternative to traditional dairy while retaining creaminess.

Health Benefits

• Rich in antioxidants from tea, such as catechins and polyphenols, which help combat oxidative stress in the body.
• Oat milk is a source of beta-glucan, a soluble fiber linked to improved heart health by lowering cholesterol levels.
• Fortified oat milk provides vitamin B12, crucial for red blood cell production and nerve health, especially for those on plant-based diets.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains oats (may contain gluten if not certified gluten-free)

Suitable for: Vegan, lactose-intolerant, vegetarian

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

Selection and Storage

Store oat milk in the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and use within 7 days of opening to ensure freshness. Brew tea fresh for optimal flavor and nutrient retention.

Common Questions About Tea with oat milk Nutrition

What is the nutritional content of tea with oat milk?

A typical serving (1 cup of tea with 1/4 cup oat milk) contains approximately 40-60 calories, 1-2 grams of protein, and small amounts of vitamins like B12 and D if fortified oat milk is used. Oat milk also contains carbohydrates (4-5 grams per serving), but tea itself is calorie-free and adds antioxidants.

Can I have tea with oat milk on a keto diet?

Tea with oat milk is not ideal for a keto diet since oat milk contains higher amounts of carbohydrates (about 4-5 grams per 1/4 cup). For a keto-compliant alternative, consider using unsweetened almond or coconut milk instead.

Does tea with oat milk have any health benefits?

Yes, tea with oat milk provides antioxidants from tea, which can support heart health and reduce inflammation, while oat milk offers fiber and may contribute to healthy digestion. However, oat milk can be high in carbs, which might not be suitable for everyone, especially those monitoring blood sugar levels.

How much oat milk should I use in tea?

Adding about 1/4 cup of oat milk to a standard 8oz cup of tea is a common serving size. This amount provides creaminess without overwhelming the tea's flavor. Adjust based on personal preference and dietary needs.

How is tea with oat milk different from tea with almond milk?

Tea with oat milk tends to be creamier and slightly sweeter because of the natural sugars in oat milk. In contrast, almond milk has a thinner texture and a nutty flavor. Oat milk is higher in carbohydrates, while almond milk is lower in calories and carbs, making almond milk a better choice for low-carb diets.
