Water is usually added to plant-based milks during the production process, along with other additives, fillers and stabilizers but Germany's Blue Farm brand sets itself apart with a waterless innovation. The brand's finely ground oat flour products can be prepared into ready-to-drink oat beverages with the addition of water at the time of consumption. The result is an incredibly fresh beverage that helps to save space in the fridge.
To help with the process of preparing its products, Blue Farm sells accessories like the Forever Bottle and the Magic Spoon alongside its waterless and organic oat milk base. The Oat Base Organic is equivalent to up to four liters of organic oat drink and it's free from gluten and lactose with no added sugar.
