Oat milk is fortified and contains

  • Calcium so good for bone health

  • D vitamins

  • Fibre (beta glucans in fibre) so great for GUT health

BUT – be aware – ALWAYS READ THE LABEL

Some oat milks contain added – take a look at the label below. There is 7grams of added sugar!

  • free sugars

  • inflammatory vegetables oils high in omega 6
