Why use oat milk in smoothies?

Oat milk is a non-dairy, plant-based milk made from oats and water. It’s fantastic for smoothies because it’s a non-dairy milk that helps achieve a creamy texture. Side note: This is great for vegan lattes, too! It is one of the few vegan milks that foams like cow’s milk. Here’s what you should know about using oat milk in smoothies:

• Can oat milk be tasted in smoothies? Not really! Oat milk tastes similar to cow’s milk and blends well with flavors.
• Does oat milk make smoothies fatter? Again not really. But one thing to note: oat milk has a creamier texture than cow’s milk than almond milk, which is more like water. It is therefore a very good substitute for cow’s milk.

Ways to add protein to this oat milk smoothie

This oat milk smoothie is vegan, meaning it doesn’t contain cow’s milk or yogurt like our standard smoothie recipes. Here’s the thing: Those two ingredients contain a good amount of protein. So if you’re looking for a high-protein drink, consider adding one of the following:

• almond butter: Add 1 tbsp almond butter or use 2 tbsp for an even nuttier flavor. It adds an almond flavor and dulls the color of the smoothie a bit.
• Protein powder: Protein powder is another plant-based way to boost the protein content of this smoothie. Use a good quality vanilla protein powder (check out this Energy Balls article for some tips on buying a good brand).
• Chia seeds: Add 2 tablespoons of chia seeds to this smoothie to add 11 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein!
