6 New Oat Milk Products We’re Excited About
So Delicious Oat Milk Oatmeal Cookie Frozen Dessert
Last December, we predicted that oat milk would make a splash with next-generation products. Eight months into 2020, we're definitely seeing more food innovations in this space–oat milk-based products like ice cream and yogurt that’s ideal for anyone who is vegan, lactose-intolerant, and (in most cases) gluten-free. Here are some of the products available in Canada now.
Happy Pops
Vegan fudgesicles? Yes, please! Happy Pops, a Canadian ice pop company, recently launched a chocolate-and-oat-milk bar inspired by a nostalgic fave. Founder Leila Keshavjee draws on her South Asian heritage and travel experiences to inspire her hand-crafted, all-natural ice pop line. (The chocolate-oat pop, as well as a latte-oat pop, is available as part of the happy mix 20 pack, and ships across Canada.) A portion of proceeds from Happy Pops also goes to supporting SOS Children's Villages.
Earth’s Own Oat Milk “Cream”
Oat milk is showing up in all the coffee shops to be turned into lattes and cappucinos. Earth's Own has launched their own oat milk "cream" products. This culinary version is meant to be used in cooking and baking (think soups and scones), but I also used it as a coffee creamer with great results. (There is also a coffee creamer version available). Made with gluten-free Canadian oats.
Two Bears Frothed Latte
Two Bears is a Canadian beverage company that specializes in flash-brewed, non-dairy frothed lattes using oat milk. The beverages come in 250-mL cans, and there's a variety of oat milk-frothed latte flavours including: black, salted caramel and vanilla coffees, as well as chai and matcha teas. The secret to their rich, creamy, silky-smooth froth is added nitrogen. Made with gluten-free Canadian oats.
Yoso Oat Yogurt
Yoats is the latest innovation from Yoso, a Canadian company that specializes in dairy-free, gluten free, casein-free, vegan, fermented and cultured foods. They've crafted an oat yogurt alternative that's available in three flavours: unsweetened, vanilla, and blueberry. Each one is high in probiotic cultures and beta-glucan (the stuff that's good for your heart), and made with gluten-free Canadian oats.
So Delicious Oat Milk Frozen Dessert
So Delicious makes a variety of non-dairy frozen desserts, but have recently launched a gluten-free oat-based line. They have two flavours currently available in Canada–Oatmeal Cookie and Peanut Butter & Raspberry. They're delightfully smooth and creamy, and you can hardly tell they're not dairy.
Elmhurst Chocolate Oat Milk
With an oat milk base and a fraction of the sugar in conventional chocolate milks, Elmhurst's Chocolate Oat Milk is the answer all dairy-free chocoholics have been looking for. The package is shelf stable and doesn't need refrigeration until it's opened, so you can stock up to ensure you never run out. Pour over cereal, use it to make overnight oats, or just drink plain to your heart's content.
