TL;DR

Oat milk is a plant-based milk alternative that is rich in vitamins and minerals, making it a sensible option for those with dietary restrictions such as lactose intolerance. However, it contains more calories and carbohydrates than other plant-based milks, and may have lower protein content. Additionally, most commercial oat milk products are not gluten-free certified, and can be on the pricier side. When choosing oat milk, opt for unsweetened varieties and look for fortification with iron, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin D, or consider making it yourself with gluten-free oats if you have gluten intolerance.
