Advantages: Lowers Cholesterol

Disadvantages: Quite Pricey

Oatly wouldn't be my first choice for milk- but for those who, are like me, intolerant to lactose and soya- it is a good alterntive. It costs £1.37 for a packet containing a litre. It is a dairy free alternative to milk and helps lower cholesterol. It also contains oat fibre and is enriched with vitamins. If you drink a 250 ml glass you will get just over a third of your daily calcium recommended daily intake. It also has no added sugar and is low in saturated fat. As an alternative to cold milk in your porridge or on your cereal it is fine as long as you remember to shake the packet before each serving. I would not recommend it for use in hot drinks, unless like me you cannot have "normal"milk. But having said that, once you get used to the fact that hot drinks always look as if you haven't put much milk in, you do get used to it. If you are going to take it out with you to use in restaurants you will need to keep it in small flask.
