Store-bought, gluten-free oat milk is hard to find and expensive. In addition, it often has hidden oat starch sugar, chemicals, gluten, gums, and defoamers.
But no need to worry because, in 15 minutes, you can make organic, gluten-free oat milk fresh from ZEGO Double Protein Oats and have peace of mind with every delicious serving.
Read more about store-bought brands in our blog.
Gluten Free Oat Milk
INGREDIENTS
Makes 2+ cups oat milk
- 4T (1/4c) ZEGO Double Protein Oats
- approx. 1/3 cup boiling water
- small pinch of salt
- 2 cups water
- Optional: 1/2t vanilla, 1t maple syrup
- Optional: to make creamier, add 1t organic, unrefined avocado oil, high oleic sunflower oil, or mild flavor EVOO
METHOD
- Put oats in a small bowl, cup or other heat friendly container.
- Pour boiling water over the oats to cover generously (approx. 1/3 cup).
- Let sit 10-15 minutes to soften oats and eliminate any bitterness.
- Add to blender with 2C water and a tiny amount of salt and blend for 30 seconds.
- Use as is for smoothies and milk.
TIPS
For smoother milk, strain through a strainer lined with cheese cloth.
STORING: Keeps up to 1 week in the refrigerator in a glass jar. Shake to remix if needed.
SMOOTHIES: decrease water and add frozen fruit or ice cubes with your other ingredients.
No need to buy dairy-free milk anymore! With this recipe, you can have creamier milk, better nutrition, and gluten-free and allergy-free safety.
What we also love about this recipe is that we aren’t burdening the environment by buying the plastic containers used for most non-dairy milks. And, we don’t put extra carbon in the air by shipping our non-dairy milk around the country that is mostly water.
It’s good for us AND good for the planet.
That’s the ZEGO way.
Want the perfect no fuss treat for this July 4th celebration??? Look no further than ZEGO Just Fruit Bars. Make them extra fun by drizzling with chocolate or dipping them into a gluten + dairy free fruit dip. Don't worry we've got a recipe for that:
Ingredients:
1 Cup Coconut Cream (chilled)
2 TBSP Honey or Maple Syrup
1/2 TSP Vanilla Extract
Pinch of sea salt
Method:
Whip the coconut cream until it's fluffy then add all remaining ingredients and whip again. Serve with your favorite flavor of ZEGOs Just Fruit Bar and wait for the compliments to roll in. . .

We love this useful tip from Vitamin D researcher Linda Benskin, PhD, RN.
Bank your sun this summer so you can build up a healthy amount of Vitamin D from mother nature while you can. You'll benefit this summer and all next winter too.
You see, your body stores a few months of Vitamin D. You can pull from those reserves on those less sunny days, days you can't get outside, and winter months when the sun is too low for you to get the right types of rays.
You'll need to skip the sunscreen for 30 minutes a day between 10am-2pm. If you are out longer than 30 minutes, you'll continue to benefit but at a much lower rate.
And remember, don't get burned! A little pink may be okay but those burns that take a day or two to go away are a no-no.

Your protein powder says it has 20g of protein in it. But how much are you actually able to digest?β
Plant proteins are not 100% digestible as protein because they are low in one or more of the 9 essential amino acids. And, processing the protein to isolate it from the other nutrients in the food decreases your ability to absorb all the protein on the label.
So what does it mean if the label says you are getting 20g of protein from your powder? Here is some info on how much you may actually be absorbing. <<SAVE & SHARE THIS POST>>
π Rice and Hemp protein have the lowest digestible amino acid scores (known as PDKAAS) of .45 and .65 each. That means 20g on the label turns into 9-13g of digestible protein (and less bc they are isolates, keep reading).
πΎ Soy and pea have high amino acid scores but are "isolates," which decreases their digestibility by 20-40%, leaving you with about 11-15g to use of the 20g grams on the label.
π± ZEGO's Sacha inchi seed protein has an 87% PDKAAS score AND you digest 20-40% more than isolate proteins giving you 17g of whole food protein out of 20g.
How can you increase the amount of protein you digest from plants? Combine them together!
— Eat some seeds or nuts within a few hours of having your plant protein, since they have some ample amounts of some of the amino acids other plants are low in.
— Mix in a tablespoon of yogurt if you can eat dairy.
— Add a teaspoon of nutritional yeast. You likely won't even taste it and the extra aminos will complete any missing in your plant protein! π΄

Colleen recently was interviewed on what ZEGO's mission is and what she wants the future for all consumers to look like:
"What I'm envisioning in the future is that every product you see in the store will have a QR code that you can scan to see whether there was any measurable allergen content in that batch of product, as well as heavy metals and the major pesticides that we're concerned about.
Even if you only had a dollar to spend on a can of soup, you would be able to pick up four different brands and scan those QR codes to pick the cleanest one. That's my vision of the future. I want to work on the whole food system rather than just the very top of the pyramid. That's when we get a cleaner planet."
