Oat Drink

Oat drink is a plant-based beverage made from oats and water. The oats are typically soaked, blended with water, and then strained to create a milky liquid. It is often fortified with vitamins and minerals.

Oat drink is used as a dairy-free alternative to cow's milk in beverages like coffee, tea, and smoothies. Manufacturers use it to add a creamy texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It's also found in baked goods and other recipes where milk is called for.

Oat drink is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of fiber and can be fortified with calcium and vitamin D. While generally considered healthy, some commercial oat drinks may contain added sugars or oils. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various oat-derived ingredients.
