    Just look out that oat is a carb. If you’re having oat milk with cereal then you’re having carb with carb.

    This is another straw on the camels back to svrewing up your sugar levels and potentially giving you diabetes.

    I’m no super healthy guy, but a friend of mine had this issue where they were on the high glucose side due to their diet, this was one of the things they needed to cut out.

    Almond milk I think was the better alternative.

      Almond milk also requires 6x as much water to produce than oat milk. Almonds in general are a very high water usage crop.

        I mean, if oat milk is going to make you less healthy, why are we concerned about the water usage if it’s still a better alternative to cows milk on both counts?

        There’s no industrial water usage in sticks I find when out walking. That doesn’t mean I’m going to put them in my cereal (intentional hyperbole to make the point).
