In late 2019, America’s number one selling Greek yogurt brand launched their first “milk” line, and it was dairy free! It’s been so successful, that they’ve continued to expand their line of Chobani Oat Milk. At the end of last year, they released their first “zero sugar” oat milk, and this year they crafted a vanilla version. But the holidays deserve a little indulgence, don’t you think? So this season, Chobani has launched Oat Nog. We have details on all current flavors of Chobani Oat Milk below.
Chobani Oat Milk is Now Pouring in Zero Sugar, Extra Creamy, Nog, and More
With the exception of the new Zero Sugar, Chobani Oat Milk Drinks use organic, gluten-free, Non-GMO, sun-dried oats from the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada. Chobani mills these oats in a centuries-old style, but uses modern techniques to create a creamy, fluid finish.

Isn’t the Plain “Zero Sugar” Too?
According to a ruling against the manufacturer Oatly, when an enzymatic process is used to make oatmilk, it breaks down the oat starch into simple sugars, and effectively creates sugars that must be claimed as “added sugars.” Chobani mills old-style, but they also use an enzymatic process to break down the oats. This is why their Plain flavors are effectively free of sugar ingredients, but they have a high “added sugars” claim on the nutrition facts. But, they’ve reportedly “tweaked” the process so they could create oatmilk with no sugars at all. But please note that their newer “zero sugar” variety is not made with organic oats.
Vitamin D Note
Although vitamin D is not specifically listed in their ingredients, it appears to be in their “nutrient extract blend.” The company states that the “Vitamin D is sourced from fruit and vegetables,” so it is vegan-friendly.

The Best Plant-Based Milk
I love Chobani Oat Drink. I got the Extra Creamy. And I can actually taste oats! I love it and recommend it highly!
As Good As Oatly
Read about it in Nov. 2019 & eagerly awaited Chobani oatmilk launch this month (Jan. 2020); lives up — most like Oatly, really good.
What about the Vitamin D?
My previous one-star review was NOT based on the quality of Chobani’s new oat milk, but the fact that they did not state the source of their Vitamin D, leaving open the question of whether it was plant-based (D2) or animal-based (D3). But they promptly responded that their Vitamin D is sourced from “fruits and vegetables.” I plan to purchase a carton and submit another review based on the oat milk itself, and I’ve no doubt that I will award it five stars because I’ve never tasted a plant-based milk I didn’t like.
Comparable to Oatly
I tried this brand as my local market was sold out of oatly and was pleasantly surprised!
