Oat Drink “No” Sugars

Our oat drink with the least sugar in the ingredients list is amazing if a less sweet taste is your “thing”.

What’s amazing

Just like our other oat drinks, you can drink it in your coffee, tea or on its own, cook or bake with it and use it in any way you would have used cow’s milk in a previous lifetime. It has things like fiber, vitamins and calcium to complement your meal, and you can store it at room temperature for 270 days or so before opening. No dairy, no soy, “no” sugar but yes, a less-sweet taste.

Less sugar, still carbs

If you really don’t like sugar in your body, it might be a less amazing yet biological fact that when this no-sugar product touches your tongue, your body starts breaking down the carbohydrates into sugar because that’s how the human digestive system works. It’s an important part of getting energy for your body and brain, so maybe we should have put this section under What’s Amazing?

To make it work in coffee, we’ve added an acidity regulator, but we would never put anything in our products that isn’t absolutely necessary or absolutely approved for consumption.

Easy now, this is totally normal and happens to all food containing carbohydrates, like porridge, fruit, beans, lentils, rice, and oat drink. It’s how your body gets energy so your brain can function properly. But it also means that you get sugars as soon as this drink touches your tongue. The quotation marks are there to be transparent about this natural process. Read more here.
