Low-Fat Oatmilk
Are you sitting down? We make a product called Low-Fat Oatmilk, which is huge news if the idea of swapping low-fat cow’s milk for a delicious and thoughtful choice for the planet sounds like something you might like to do. Pour it in a glass and sip away while listening to Mozart and looking out a window at flowers or maybe some swans, or gulp it while watching a monster truck rally. Don’t get caught up in the details. The point is, you now have a really nice dairy-free, nut-free, vegan, low-fat option in your life. Which is pretty great if you think about it.

What’s Amazing
Let’s start with how it tastes. Yes, that is amazing, especially when you consider the next amazing thing: it has only 0.5% fat. Enjoy it as a drink, on your cereal, in your smoothies and in your recipes. But the most amazing part might be that it comes in a super laid-back shelf-stable container that’s cool with waiting around for whenever you feel like enjoying it, for up to a year. Actually, if you ask a nutritionist or your mom, the most amazing part could be that this product contains beta-glucans (big, scientific word for soluble fiber), calcium, vitamins and minerals. Okay, since we clearly think everything about it is amazing, we’ll let you wrestle with the final decision on the amazingness hierarchy of product benefits, if that’s okay with you.
What might be less amazing
We have to be honest. The color is not great. It's pretty much municipal-office-building-from-the-seventies gray. That’s because of its low fat content (higher fat equals whiter oatmilk). This product also contains an acidity regulator, so it will perform nicely when heated. We’d rather have added something that sounds cozier (like a summer breeze), but we had to let that go.
