Cambridge-based yogurt brand Yoso recently unveiled its new YOATS product, Canada's first oat milk yogurt that is available in three signature flavors. These include Vanilla, Unsweetened and Blueberry, with each made from Canadian-grown oats and infused with healthy nutrients, proteins and probiotics.
Featuring no cholesterol or gluten, this vegan-friendly yogurt contains "1 billion cfu of probiotic cultures per 175g serving" and is a non-GMO product. As more consumers seek dairy milk substitutes -- both for dietary and ethical reasons -- oat milk is gaining popularity as a delicious and protein-enriched substitute, following in the footsteps of other popular varieties like almond and coconut milk.
This oat milk yogurt offers the same nutrients of traditional dairy products without the animal bi-products and is also ideal for those with a lactose intolerance.
