Oat Milk Advantages - non-dairy, non-soy and non-nut - creamy, very subtle taste - higher in carbohydrates, good fibre - very easy to steam but don’t over steam Disadvantages - may contain sugar and canola/sunflower oil and people can have a oat sensitivity
Coconut Milk Advantages. - non-dairy, non-soy alternative - sweet, thick, rich, and creamy - high in healthy saturated fats - creamiest of non-dairy alternatives Disadvantages- again can have added sugars and oils and can over power the coffee so don’t use too much
