At the present time, vegetable milk substitutes are in full swing, especially among those who are lactose intolerant or allergic. Although these should be called ‘drink’ and not ‘milk’, since the European Union reserves this name only for dairy products of animal origin, in the public imagination it is common to consider them as such. An example of this is the oat drink, rich in nutrients.
Made from a base of oats and water, this drink stands out for being rich in fiber and easier to digest than milk. However, it is a less complete product, from a nutritional point of view, than food of animal origin.

One of the main characteristics of oat drink is that, as a general rule, it is a food free of allergens and gluten – although it is advisable to check the labeling. In addition, its fiber content is ideal for regulating intestinal transit and relieving constipation problems.
Oatmeal drink is rich in calcium, which allows the maintenance of the bone system. Likewise, it is a beneficial food for the proper functioning of the circulatory system and the reduction of cholesterol.
On the other hand, beyond its consumption, oatmeal drink can be applied to the skin thanks to its moisturizing qualities, to combat dryness.
