1 cup (medium) of Oat drink (240 g) has 110 calories. That works out to 46 calories per 100 g. It contains 16.1 g of carbs, 2.4 g of protein, 3.6 g of fat and 1.9 g of fiber. Its 288 mg of Calcium covers 29% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 60 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Oat drink is a plant-based alternative to dairy, usually made by blending oats with water and straining the mixture. Packaged versions may include other ingredients to adjust their texture or taste, and some are fortified with vitamins and minerals.
Its mild, cereal-like flavour works well in coffee, tea and breakfast cereal, and it can also be poured into smoothies or used in cooking. It is relatively low in protein compared with dairy milk, with 1 g per 100 g. Choose an unsweetened version if you prefer less sweetness, and shake the carton before pouring, as the contents can settle.

How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Oat drink is made by blending oats with water and straining the mixture. Packaged versions may also contain oil, salt, stabilisers, or added vitamins, so the ingredient list varies by brand and by whether it is a barista-style product.
Oat drink can curdle when it meets very hot, acidic coffee, especially if it is poured in quickly. Let the coffee cool slightly, warm the drink gently, and pour it in slowly; a barista-style version is formulated to handle coffee better.
Barista oat drink is formulated to steam and foam more reliably in coffee and is less likely to split. It often has a different fat content or added stabilisers, so it may taste richer than a standard oat drink.
Blend oats briefly with cold water, then strain the mixture through a fine sieve or clean cloth. Avoid blending for too long, which can make homemade oat drink slimy. Keep it refrigerated and use it within a few days.
Some oat drinks contain added sugar and others do not. Choose an unsweetened version if you want to avoid added sweeteners, and remember that processing oats can create naturally occurring sugars even in products with no sugar added.
Once opened, oat drink should be refrigerated and used within the time stated on its package. Discard it if it develops an off smell, unusual lumps, or a swollen carton; shelf life after opening varies between products.
Yes, oat drink can be added to tea, though very hot or strongly brewed tea may change its flavour or cause separation. Try a small amount first, and let the tea cool slightly before adding the drink for a smoother cup.
Yes, oat drink usually works in cakes, pancakes, and many other recipes in place of dairy milk. Choose an unsweetened version to avoid changing the flavour; in custards or other recipes that rely on milk for thickness, the result may differ.
Yes, oat drink can be frozen, but it may separate or turn grainy after thawing. Freeze it in small portions, thaw it in the refrigerator, and shake or blend it before use; freshly opened oat drink usually works better in coffee.
Barista oat drink usually foams well enough for cappuccinos, while standard oat drink may produce less stable foam. Start with it cold, use a steam wand or milk frother, and avoid overheating it, which can weaken the foam and affect the taste.
