Almost everyone and their favorite fitness influencer talks about eating more protein, even though it’s mostly elite athletes who need to think about their protein intake. The rest of us, in general, consume more than enough. Fibres, on the other hand, is something more people should focus on.
If you agree that people should talk more about fibre, you’ll be happy to know that on this page, we are going to talk about them, and especially oat fibre. Because if there are two things we like to talk about, it's oats and fibres. Just don't call us fibre influencers, we prefer to be referred to as fibre content creators.
The Fibre Gap
Across Europe, average fibre intakes remain below the recommended 25-35g per day, with an For some, that’s a pretty big gap to bridge, but on the bright side, it’s a very tasty gap to bridge since some sources for dietary fiber/fibre are fruits, berries, nuts, veggies, and oat drink like the Oatly Whole, Semi and No Sugars.
What Is Dietary Fibre?
Dietary fibres are like the fancy cleaners of the nutrition world. It’s a type of carbohydrate the body can’t digest, so, instead of breaking down to sugars like other types of carbs, it passes through the body largely undigested and, depending on the type, can help support normal digestive processes such as bowel function and helping stuff move through the body, delaying blood sugar rises after meals.
Studies show that diets that are higher in fibre are linked to and research shows that certain fibres can support a
What Are Soluble Fiber/Fibres?
There are two types of dietary fibre: insoluble fibre and soluble fibre. Both play a role as part of a varied and balanced diet.
Insoluble fibre passes through the digestive system largely unchanged, while soluble fibre, such as beta‑glucan (found in oats), dissolves in liquid to form a gel‑like substance. This property contributes to many of the physiological effects associated with soluble fibre.
Oat beta glucan has been shown to lower blood cholesterol, a risk factor for coronary heart disease. As part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, oat beta glucan helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.
Does Oat Drink Contain Oat Fibre?
The Oatly production process is designed to retain many of the oats natural properties when turning them into a tasty beverage, including a portion of the fibre. Each 290 ml glass of Oatly – Whole, Semi and No Sugars provide at least 2g of fibre/fiber, which is good since
So the answer to "does oat drink contain oat fibre" is: does a bear poop in the woods? Yes (if it’s not a polar bear), and probably on a very regular basis, due to a healthy gut environment thanks to a fibre-rich diet.
Since responding to a question with another question about the restroom habits of bears is the rude and annoying person’s way of giving an affirmative answer, we have now established that Oatly Whole, Semi and No Sugars contains fibre but I still would like to apologise.
Beta Glucans, Oat Fibre With Health Benefits
Part of the total fibre in Oatly Whole, Semi and No Sugars are oat beta glucans Beta glucan has been shown to lower cholesterol, and high cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease.
The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g of oat beta glucan, in combination with a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
The beta-glucans and the added vitamins and minerals in our fortified oat drinks, like the Whole, Semi, and No Sugars make them a great choice for anyone who wants to sustain or increase the plant-based ingredients in their diet.
The beta-glucans, together with the added vitamins and minerals in products such as Oatly Semi and No Sugars, make them a great choice for anyone looking to sustain or increase plant-based options in their diet.
Why Do High Fibre Foods Matter
Dietary fibre is an important part of a varied and balanced diet. It passes through the digestive system and and that's not just a gut feeling we have, even though it probably is a good gut feeling, but also, you know, science and stuff.
Many people do not consume enough fibre, as mentioned in the section about the fibre gap. While some well‑established benefits of fibre are recognised, research continues to explore its wider role in dietary patterns and overall health. Emerging research is exploring how certain fibres interact with the gut microbiome. These interactions may contribute to broader aspects of health, although this area continues to evolve.
What Are Some High Fibre Foods Easily Found In Grocery Stores?
There are many tasty, plant-based and fibre-rich foods you can eat, and different types of fibre are found across a wide range of foods. That’s why it’s a good idea to include a variety of fibre sources in your diet each day. Like apples, passion fruit, pears, avocados, blackberries, broccoli, sweet potatoes, artichokes and other fruits, berries and vegetables. But also legumes like lentils and kidney beans, whole grains like oats or brown rice, as well as nuts and seeds.
Starting your day with a bowl of granola made with oatmeal, nuts and seeds, together with some chopped up fruits and oat drink is a great way to raise your fibre intake.
3 Easy Ways To Get More Fibre
- Swap white bread for whole grain bread.
- Add beans, lentils or seeds to dishes you already make.
- Add one portion of fruit per day, for instance you can enjoy a smoothie made with fruit and oat drink.

How Much Fibre Is In Oatly Oat Drink?
Our Oat drink Semi and Oat drink No Sugars contain 2 g of fibre per serving of 290 ml, Oat drink Whole contains 2,5 g per cup serving, glass serving, or any serving of 290 ml. But they’re not only a source of fibre content, they also contain calcium, iodine, and riboflavin (B2).
The creamy texture in our drinks comes from both oats and rapeseed oil, which has less saturated fat and mostly unsaturated fats. This was probably more information than you needed since the question was about fibre, but if you're only drinking oat drink because of the taste, like most people, now you also know about some of the nutrition that comes with the taste.
Fibremaxxing And Fibre Layering.
Fibremaxxing is (or was, depending on when you're reading this) a digestive health trend that spread quickly across social media. The idea is to hit a daily goal of 30 grams of fibre in one meal. Considering the fibre gap, this is a social media trend with potential to actually have some good real-life consequences, just like Labubu!
If jumping on trends with two x's sounds too exxtreme for you, dietitians like our own are recommending the more steady method of spreading your fibre intake through a diverse mix of sources in your daily diet.
So instead of maxxing with a big bowl of kidney beans, you layer the fibres over your day by mixing beans with vegetables, fruits, lentils, oat drink like our Oatly Whole, Semi and No Sugars, or any of the foods listed if you search for foods with fibre on the internet.
How Much Fibre Is In Cow's Milk?
Cow's milk does not contain any dietary fibre. When people talk about dietary fibres in general, they refer to plant-based foods. As animals do not produce or contain the indigestible carbohydrates and lignin found in plants, meat, dairy, and eggs have zero natural fibre.
When it comes to plant based drink alternatives, like almond drink, soy drink or drink made from peas, oat drink has the highest fibre content.
But all drinks have different benefits; for instance, oat drink has less protein than soy drink, so everything depends on who you are and what you need. If you're into comparing the nutritional content of one cup of store bought cow's milk and one cup store bought oat drink, you should read our 17 facts about Oatly and nutrition.
Can I Get My Oatly Oat Fibres Gluten-free?
