On the cutting edge of plant-based, the former dairy turned dairy-free has launched an Unsweetened version of their oat milk beverage. Elmhurst Milked Oats now comes in three varieties to cover your needs for sweets, savories, and that all important cup of Joe.
Elmhurst Milked Oats Take Oat Milk from Espresso Bar to Breakfast Table
Like their other products, Elmhurst Milked Oats is free of gums, oils, and carageenan. And it’s made with their trademarked HydroRelease method. It uses just water to separate the components of the whole oat groats before reassembling them as a creamy beverage. This retains the full nutrition of the source ingredient without added gums or emulsifiers. And we’re guessing this is how they get rid of that dreaded oat sliminess. Elmhurst sources their oats from the Red River Valley of Manitoba, Canada.

This is the newest addition to the Elmhurst Milked Oats line, and it contains just 3 ingredients. It provides more versatility for use in sweet and savory recipes, and contains no added sugars. Plus, each glass of this milk beverage has 20 grams of whole grain, warranting the Whole Grain Council stamp of approval.
