: Hi Anna,
: How frustrating to have that reaction
: to the shake! I know you will find
: a shake recipe that works for you.

: Here's what I can contribute on the
: oat milk question, more an
: additional question than an answer
: perhaps:

: I just bought some oat milk for the
: first time, based on people on RR
: speaking highly of it. I found the
: Pacific Original kind. According
: to it's ingredients it contains
: water, oats, oat bran, sea salt,
: gellan gum, riboflavin, vitamin a
: and vitamin d2. No added sugars.
: But when I got home and tasted it
: I was shocked by how sweet it
: tasted. And looking on the RDA
: data (which I guess I should have
: checked in the store) it contains
: 19 g of sugars per 8oz. The soy
: milk I usually use contains 1g,
: milk contains 12 g (and I find
: pure milk in the shake is not
: great for me).

: So I'm curious if perhaps the type of
: oat milk you used simply has too
: much sugar for you for first thing
: in the morning. It definitely does
: in my case, I am not even going to
: try it in the morning, I can
: absolutely guarantee it would have
: me shaking and weepy about 2 hours
: later.

: I'd be interested to know if folks
: have found an oat milk with lower
: sugar content and if anyone has
: insight into how the Pacific
: original version can have so much
: sugar per ounce even though it's
: unsweetened.

: Good luck with the shake adventure
: Anna!

I went and looked at the label. The *sugars* are actually naturally occurring sugars in the oats. I think that sugars represent about 60% of the carbohydrate in oats. I know that there is *sugar* in George's® Original and it comes from the oats, not anything we add.

oatmilk is sweet.

A lot of us use almond milk.
