Is oat milk better than cow's milk for weight loss

A few years ago, when oat milk joined the ranks of almond, rice and soy on store shelves and coffee shops, it seemed like just the latest in a long line of trendy plant-based milks —but now it's everywhere and is clearly here to stay.

This vegan alternative to dairy milk is made by blending water and oats, and then straining out the liquid. And more and more brands of this beverage seem to pop up each year.

And it makes sense: Oat milk has turned out to be super-versatile.

When it comes to lightening up a cup of java, many people prefer it over other plant-based milks like almond or soy milk since it can be frothed more easily; in fact, some companies like Oatly sell a barista version of oat milk that contains a bit more fat and is creamier.

And many people who are into baking prefer subbing in oat milk for dairy because of its more-neutral taste.
