Indulge in the wholesome simplicity of this **Low Fat Bebida de Avena**, a light and creamy oat-based beverage that’s as refreshing as it is nutritious. Made with just five simple ingredients—rolled oats, water, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and an optional touch of maple syrup—this plant-based drink is quick to prepare, requiring no cooking and just 10 minutes of effort. Naturally dairy-free and cholesterol-free, it’s the perfect low-fat alternative to traditional milk, ideal for smoothies, cereals, or simply sipping on its own. Straining the blended oats ensures a silky texture, while the hint of vanilla adds a warm, aromatic flavor. If you prefer a hint of sweetness, a drizzle of maple syrup rounds out the flavors beautifully. This versatile and budget-friendly recipe is a must-try for anyone looking to add a healthy twist to their daily routine. Don’t forget: give it a shake before each use to keep it perfectly blended!
Rinse the rolled oats with water to remove any dust or impurities.
In a blender, combine the rinsed oats, 4 cups of water, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes milky and the oats are well blended.
Place a fine-mesh strainer or a cheesecloth over a large bowl and pour the mixture through to strain it.
If using a cheesecloth, gather the edges and gently squeeze to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the oat pulp or save it for another use like baking.
Taste the oat milk, and if desired, blend in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup for added sweetness.
Transfer the oat milk to an airtight container or bottle and refrigerate. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Shake well before each use as separation is natural.
