Substituting ordinary milk to plant-based milk has always been the harder option to go for. For the non lactose-intolerant, the taste just never feels…hold that thought, because there’s a new oat milk in town and it’s a whole lot CREAMIER and MALTIER than the ones you’ve tasted. This may very well be the plant milk on everyone’s shopping list.
Introducing OATSIDE: A Brand New Oat-perience
Introducing OATSIDE, a new plant-based milk made from—you guessed it—oats, which has recently launched in Malaysia. OATSIDE is made from high quality Australian oats, natural spring water and a touch of sea salt – nothing else you can’t pronounce. Say goodbye to artificial flavours, gums, emulsifiers, preservatives and colouring. And because it is made from oats, OATSIDE contains beta glucans – which is good for heart health, reduces cholesterol and boosts immunity, and is low in saturated fats.
Not all oat milks are created equal. OATSIDE uses Australian oats, and these are the oats we are all used to eating growing up. Australian oats tend to be a little bit more full bodied, with an aftertaste of maltiness to it. The mouthfeel is richer, with a medium sweetness to it. The beautiful thing about the oat milk process is there is a lot of room for expression of taste and texture – from the provenance of oats, treatment of oats to the enzyme process used. OATSIDE was made specifically to be creamy, nutty, malty and a balanced oat milk designed for the discerning Asian palette.
Developed amidst the pandemic by Singaporean Benedict Lim, OATSIDE is one of the first “full-stack” oat milk brands to originate from this part of the world, with in-house manufacturing capabilities and full control over its sourcing and production process. Which is why they are able to go on with full oat extraction and proprietary enzyme treatment, instead of using pre-hydrolysed oat powder.
Did you know that by consuming OATSIDE, you’re helping Mother Nature as well? OATSIDE was created with our home in mind – the production of oat milk requires 90% less land and water, and produces 70% less emissions as compared to cow’s milk. Apart from that, OATSIDE sources Rainforest-Alliance certified ingredients and uses recyclable paperboard packaging in line with our mission to be sustainable without tasting sustainable.
After a glimpse into OATSIDE, here are all the different variants you can get your hands on:
OATSIDE Barista Blend
OATSIDE Barista Blend is no doubt the first thing you should try. Its creaminess gives body to coffees and teas, but it also takes a back seat such that your coffee or tea notes can still enjoy the centre stage. OATSIDE Barista Blend also creates beautiful micro-foam when steamed for latte art, a feat that has proved to be a challenge for plant-based milks. No doubt, you can enjoy it as it is. Every sip gives the perfect balance of creamy mouthful, making it super enjoyable even on its own.
OATSIDE Chocolate
Next up, they’ve got this dark, rich and complex blend made for adults (and the most discerning children). OATSIDE Chocolate contains no-added flavours and less sugar than most chocolate milks. It is made with 100% Rainforest Alliance certified blend of Sulawesi Cacao for a more complex flavour. If there’s one chocolate milk you can drink any time without feeling guilty, OATSIDE Chocolate is the one.
OATSIDE Chocolate Hazelnut
The next best thing after that is the OATSIDE Chocolate Hazelnut. Nicknamed the liquid ‘gianduja’ – it’s velvety smooth, with intense notes of dark-roasted hazelnuts. OATSIDE Chocolate Hazelnut also contains no-added flavours, relying instead on a heavier dose of high-quality hazelnuts, which are 100% Rainforest-Alliance certified and sourced from Turkey.
More Than Just A Beverage
Incorporating OATSIDE in your life is never a challenge because it goes well with everything! Take your drinks to the next level with OATSIDE with shakes, lattes and even throw in a little pudding dessert while you’re at it.
