Our oat milkshakes

If you don't have time to make your own milkshakes, why don't you try our oat milkshakes? They are ideal for nutritious and fast breakfasts.

In our Swedish food store, you'll find two flavours: oat, blackcurrant and blueberry and another of apple and pear. The best part about it is not just the flavour. These milkshakes are highly recommended, not just because we make them, but because they don't contain lactose or other animal-based ingredients. So they're ideal for vegetarians and vegans.

Plus, did you know that if you replace dairy products with oat products, you'll reduce your carbon footprint?

Other refreshing options  

In addition to juices and milkshakes, don't forget that water is the best drink you can choose to refresh, hydrate and lead a healthy life. If that seems like a boring option, try giving it flavour and colour by adding fruits and aromatic herbs. You can also have it iced. You just need a mould, some fruit and presto!
