Oat (Avena) Milk Benefits

 Oat milk is a great alternative to regular milk with numerous benefits:
 
•    It is lactose and fat free
•    It is high in protein and fiber
•    It reduces the risk of heart deceases
•    It contains vitamins E, C,  A, K B1, B2, B6, B12 and folic acid  
•    It contains vital minerals, mainly iron and calcium, but also magnesium, potassium,       
      zinc, copper and selenium
•    It lowers the levels of cholesterol 
•    It’s easy to digest (far more easier than regular milk)
•    It is rich in phytochemicals (naturally found plant chemicals) and, thus, is great in
     protecting from diseases and fighting cancer
•    It aids aging (again due to the phytochemicals)
•    It is very moisturising and nurturing for the skin (when used externally). 
 
Oat (avena) milk can be easily found ready-made in the market in any organic or health store at a reasonable price. However, it is very fast and easy to make it at home and you may add a special ingredient or two that really will make a difference…and after all, fresh is always best!
You may drink it plain, or add it in smoothies, eat  your muesli with it, or just replace regular milk with it in certain recipes (mainly desserts).
