Inside Out Milkish Oat | Chewsday Review

Hold up – there’s a brand-new milk alternative on the market! Surely that aisle of the supermarket is full by now? Inside Out’s ‘Milkish’ Oat claims to be the perfect all-in-one dairy alternative – but how does it stack up in the nutrition department?

Ingredients

Oat Milk (93%) [Filtered Water, Oats (7%)], Vegetable Oil (Rapeseed), Faba Bean, Minerals (Potassium Phosphate, Calcium Phosphate, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium, Iron), Vitamins (A, B2, B12, D), Sea Salt, Vegetable Gum (Gellan).
The addition of faba bean gives this ‘milk’ as much protein as regular cow’s milk.
Calcium, Magnesium, Iron and Vitamins A, B2, B12 and D have all been added into this product to make it more similar to cow’s milk – or should I say… more ‘milk-ish’
The vegetable gum gives this product its smooth texture
Allergens: Wheat

Positives

This ‘milk’ contains the 3.4g of protein per 100ml, which is on par with dairy milks 3.6g/100mL. Protein is something most alternative milks lack, so this is great.
One serve of this milk contains 400 mg of calcium which is more than regular milk! One cup of this milk contains almost all of a toddlers daily calcium requirements.
No added sugar, which is something that tends to be added to a lot of milk alternatives.
Extremely aesthetic and eco-friendly packaging

Negatives

Marketing

Alternatives

If your little one doesn’t have an allergy to cow’s milk, I would always recommend dairy milk over an alternative milk product.
A fortified soy milk like the Woolworths Macro Organic Soy has the same protein and calcium as this product at the much more affordable price of $1.60/L.
If you are specifically looking for an oat milk, this would be a good option if you don’t mind the high price. The calcium and protein are something you don’t usually find in other oat milks.
