Driven by the prevailing trends for plant-based foods, health, and sustainability, and boosted by the Covid-19 pandemic, 62% of adults bought plant-based milk in the past year. With the survey by Harris Interactive recording that this increased to 81% of 25-34 year-olds. And it’s oat milk that is the undisputed star of this plant-based milk revolution, boasting an amazing 92% growth in the past year according to Kantar data, equivalent to over half of the additional £81.5m consumer spend on plant-based milk.
In its simplest form, oat milk is made from a mixture of oats and water, it contains a similar number of calories to cow’s milk, half the amount of protein and fat, and only natural sugars. Oat milk contains beta-glucan, a type of soluble fibre that may help increase feelings of fullness and lower blood sugar levels after a meal. Beta-glucan has also been linked to lowering cholesterol levels, particularly LDL cholesterol, the type associated with an increased risk of heart disease.
Tree of Life Oat Milk is available in 3 delicious varieties: Our Barista Oat Drink is specially crafted to perfectly froth, foam, and steam in coffee creations; our Enriched Oat Drink contains extra good stuff with added calcium & vitamins D, B2 & B12, it’s delicious splashed onto cereal, stirred into porridge, blended into smoothies or enjoyed by the glassful; and our Organic Oat Drink is certified by the Soil Association for our health and that of the planet.

Soil Association Certification is holding its final webinar for organic businesses to get ready for Brexit this week.
The free Brexit webinar takes place on Wednesday, December 2, between 2pm-3pm, and is designed to support the organic industry in their preparations for Brexit. The webinar is the last in a series designed to help Soil Association Certification licensees and all other organic businesses and industry stakeholders in the UK get ready for the end of the transition period.
Lee Holdstock, Trade Relations Manager at Soil Association Certification, commented: “This webinar is a critical opportunity for organic businesses to stay informed of the latest developments on trade continuity in the organic sector and ensure that they’re ready for trading in 2021. Through continued interaction with DEFRA and other key stakeholders, we’ve put together these webinars to ensure all organic businesses are up to date and able to run as smoothly as possible, throughout the transition period and beyond.
“We’ve worked hard to achieve EU recognition of our certification offer and have raised a number of other import, export and labelling issues, which we’ll continue to update organic businesses on in the coming weeks.”
