The 30-Day Oat Milk Challenge

Thinking about trying oat milk but not ready to completely commit? Why not make it a challenge?

Rather than treating switching to oat milk as a permanent change, try using it for 30 days and see how you get on. From your morning coffee to breakfast, cooking and baking, there are plenty of easy ways to introduce oat milk into your everyday routine.

Here's how to get started.

Week 1: Get Used to the Taste

The first week is all about getting familiar with oat milk.

If you normally use dairy milk, you may notice a difference in flavour and texture. Oat milk has a naturally creamy consistency and a subtle oat flavour, which can work particularly well in hot drinks and breakfast recipes.

Start by replacing your usual milk in just one or two things you have every day.

Why not try:

  • Oat milk in your morning coffee
  • Oat milk over cereal
  • Oat milk in porridge
  • A glass of chilled oat milk alongside breakfast


Challenge checklist:

☐ Try oat milk in one breakfast
☐ Try oat milk in a hot drink
☐ Find your favourite way to enjoy it

 

Week 2: Put Oat Milk to the Test

Once you've got used to the taste, it’s time to start experimenting!

One of the easiest ways to discover whether oat milk in coffee works for you is to use it in your usual morning brew. It can taste just as good in tea too, as well as lattes or hot chocolate.

You can also experiment with smoothies. Oat milk works particularly well with fruits like bananas and blueberries for a quick breakfast drink.

Challenge checklist:

☐ Try oat milk in coffee
☐ Try oat milk in tea
☐ Make a smoothie
☐ Try a different hot drink

 

Week 3: Take It Beyond Breakfast

Oat milk isn’t just for drinking.

Use it in everyday cooking and baking as you would normally use milk. Try adding it to sauces, mashed potatoes, pancakes or homemade bakes.

You can also use oat milk in overnight oats or combine it with yoghurt and fruit for an easy breakfast.

This is where oat milk vs. dairy milk becomes more about personal preference and how you use each product. Some recipes may work particularly well with oat milk, while you may prefer dairy milk for others.

Challenge checklist:
☐ Cook a savoury recipe with oat milk
☐ Bake something with oat milk
☐ Try oat milk in pancakes or porridge
☐ Find one recipe where you prefer oat milk

 

Week 4: Find Your Favourite Uses

By the final week, you should have a better idea of where oat milk fits into your routine.

You might discover that you prefer it in coffee but still reach for dairy milk with certain recipes. Or perhaps oat milk has become your go-to for breakfast and baking.

There’s no right or wrong answer. The point of the challenge is simply to experiment and find what works for you.

Final challenge checklist:
☐ My favourite oat milk drink: __________
☐ My favourite breakfast: __________
☐ My favourite recipe: __________
☐ Would I keep buying oat milk? Yes / No / Sometimes
