Semper Organic Gluten Free Oat Milk

This oat milk does not have added calcium (or other micronutrients) so do make sure you get it from other sources.

This dairy free, lactose free milk alternative is so simple to make from scratch. Semper’s oat flakes are specially handled during growing and harvesting to avoid contamination with gluten from other grains so are suitable for coeliacs.
