Everyone’s favorite: chocolate milk! Except we skip the whole cow thing and make it from beautiful gluten-free oats instead of milk. If that’s not enough, we’ve enriched it with calcium and vitamins so the more delicious Chocolate Oatmilk you drink the healthier you become. We obviously can’t promise that legally, but you know what we mean.
Here’s a random idea I, the writer, tried the other day and it was great. Shake the carton well and then pour it over your morning bowl of cereal. Crazy good. Or do what grandma used to do and heat it up for the thermos and walk across a frozen lake or something romantically Nordic like that.

What’s Amazing
This is one of those products that marketing people love because they get to say things like, “for kids from 2 to 102!” But let’s just say kids, teens, adults, lactose intolerants, lactose lovers, vegans, weekend vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, carnivores -- all fans, in case you were wondering. It’s a delicious chocolate treat with no dairy, no soy, no nuts, no gluten, no GMOS, no whatever. And the beta-glucans (big, scientific word for soluble fiber), extra vitamins (A, D2, riboflavin, B12) and calcium mean you can pretty much guzzle the stuff all afternoon. That’s why we put it in a 64 ounce container.
what might be less amazing
If you check the ingredients list you’ll find that we have added some sugar to this product, but only 8 grams per serving. The rest of the sugar is natural, from oats. We also add natural flavors for the simple reason that they make this product taste great.
