Our organic oat milk powder is perfect milky goodness and is formulated ready-to-drink by simply adding water. It also works perfectly for all your vegan cooking recipes. It can also be added to healthy beverages and smoothies for added creamy flavor.
To prepare simply mix a 10:1 ratio of water to oatmilk powder. This means 100 g of powder to 1 L of water.
By purchasing powdered oat milk instead of premixed you are saving polluting emissions generated by the transport of water as well as all the associated packaging. As a matter of fact our 20 kg oat milk powder when mixed can make 200 kg (200 L) of oat milk.
At a July 2024 pricing of $27.30/kg this translates to a prepared price of $2.73/L while the lowest price found in premixed was $3.67/L. On a 20 kg bag this equals $188.00 in savings! Our oat milk powder also has no added oil (cheap way to make it creamy), flavours, salt, or gums.
How is Oat Milk Made?
- Oat milk starts off as whole oats that are soaked in water and blended into a paste.
- Enzymes are added (amylase in ours) to break down the complex carbohydrates (like starch). This is what makes the oat milk sweeter to taste than the oats themselves. Since oats consists of around 50-60% starch, and this starch acquires a gelatinous texture when blended or heated, enzymes breaking down starch also helps to create a smoother and creamier texture than if you were to simply blend oats with water.
- The mix is then strained through a special filter that looks like cheesecloth. The oat pulp is left behind and the milk is dehydrated into powder.
- Then tocopherol (Vitamin E), which is a powerful antioxidant is added to fortify the mix. In oat milk, the lower bioavailability of calcium due to absorption by oxalate and phytase and insoluble calcium phosphate causes problems. So calcium chloride is added to boost the calcium content to a reasonable level.
