In addition to offering a line of oat milk beverages, Oatly is now introducing a drinkable alternative to yogurt by the name of 'Oatgurt.' The plant-based drinkable yogurt boasts a base of fermented oats and is offered in a Natural variety, along with other flavorful options like Strawberry, Vanilla and Lemon Elderflower.
Oatgurt is said to truly make a great alternative to yogurt, as it has a similar consistency and the potential to be used in everything from smoothies to berry-topped granola snack bowls. The product is rich in heart-healthy beta-glucans and unsaturated fat, both of which help to maintain healthy blood cholesterol levels.
Alongside fermented oats, some of the other key ingredients that go into the making of Oatly's Oatgurt include potato starch, rapeseed oil and added vitamins.
