Have you spotted the new Quaker Oat Beverage yet? It’s got a smooth texture that makes for a great plant-based swap in any recipe – think smoothies, baked goods, cooked into your oats in the morning, or just on its own!

It’s so much easier now to find plant-based and lactose-free options that fit into your lifestyle, no matter what that looks like. I’m all for more ways to eat oats and oat bran benefits. Quaker’s Oat Beverage is specifically made from oat bran and for every 1 cup serving, you’re getting fiber from the oat bran + chicory root, calcium, and vitamin D.

Studies have shown that 3 grams or more of soluble fiber daily from oat bran, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may help reduce the risk of heart disease. Oat Beverage has .75 grams of soluble fiber per 8 oz. serving
