Relief in the Canal Belt: oat milk crisis solved
Major panic among Amsterdam’s yoga-loving inner circle: the oat milk is running out. This plant-based milk substitute is incredibly popular and incredibly sold out, because demand has risen much faster than the oat milk factory can handle. The solution: oat milk in powder form, new on the market.
Powder form, you’re thinking now? Isn’t that astronaut food? Wrong: powder is sustainable. Because it’s light and takes up very little space, which makes quite a difference to the ecological footprint and transport costs and all that. You have water at home anyway, so it doesn’t need to be transported from pillar to post. Looked at that way, a mineral water factory is actually selling plastic bottles, but that’s beside the point.
Most sustainable ever
This powder comes from Germany, made in recyclable packaging from sugarcane plastic and recycled cardboard. The only way it could be even more sustainable would be if you grew the oats on your own balcony. The oat milk powder is an invention by the company Greenforce, which has already made waves with its powdered meat and fish substitutes. You can make very sustainable meatballs, köfte or fish cakes from them in your own little kitchen, easy as anything.
Good powder
So when an oat milk crisis emerged, Greenforce immediately jumped into the gap. With a 400-gram package of powder, you make 4 liters of oat milk, and therefore 12 lattes. There’s no need to throw it away: the good powder made from one hundred percent organic oats keeps for six months, even after you’ve opened the package. So stock up your pantry, and you’ll no longer have to stress when the fake-milk shelves at Appie have been completely emptied by hoarders and oat milk is being sold on Amazon for ten euros a pack.
