3) DIETARY LIFESTYLES:

OK so you’re living that vegan, keto, paleo, gluten-free, non-gmo lifestyle. Respect for deciding to cut out several delicious food categories for something you believe in. Always make sure you know all the facts surrounding any diet or permanent life-style choice, just to be sure you are achieving what you set out to!

Let’s look at some of the common diet preferences and see where Oat Milk does and doesn’t fit in.

Is Oat Milk vegan?

Absolutely! Oats are a sustainable cereal grain that is not an animal by-product in any way.

Is Oat Milk Vegetarian?

Yes! Oat milk should be completely vegetarian, as it is made from oats and water. Oat Milk is a perfect milk alternative.

Is Oat Milk gluten-free?

Oh boy, oats and gluten. Short answer is yes, but it does get complicated. We are not going to be the definitive answer on this but here is what we know: A pure oat in it’s natural form is by definition gluten free. The main issue is the contamination from wheat products with oats. However there are brands of oats that test them and then certify that their products are gluten free. There is a protein in oats similar to “gluten proteins” that in some cases has triggered responses from people with Celiac Disease. Here’s a cool article on that from Celiac.org.

If you are just trying to eliminate gluten from your diet, then we would recommend oat milk, especially made with gluten free certified oats.

If you have Celiac or intense intolerance, you may want to consult with more official health sources.

Is Oat Milk non-gmo?

If the container of oat milk is non-gmo certified or the oats you buy to make it are non-gmo certified then YES you are good.

Is Oat Milk Paleo?

No, oats are a grain that the Paleo Diet avoids.

Is Oat Milk Keto?

No, it is usually avoided. The keto diet revolves around very low carb foods and oats are naturally higher in carbs.

Is Oat Milk dairy-free?

YASSSS, we thought that one was clear. It’s made from oats and water. Neither of which are dairy.

Oat milk, depending on origin of the oats or the brand of oat milk, should usually be completely:

Soy Free

Nut Free

Egg Free

… and can easily be organic.(Check the oats or oat milk packaging)
