There is a newly created Organic section in the recently renovated supermarket near my place, so I bought Barambah Organic's honey yogurt and Oatly's oat milk!

The milk-lover in me was attracted to Oatly's squarish carton packaging and the pure authenticity of the words on the packaging. Any company with an unapologetically strong character and brand gets my support! That was the same reason why I loved Pic's Peanut Butter.

I quote from Oatly:

"Everything we make, we make on Swedish oats. If you are wondering what makes Swedish oats so special, the answer is very simple. They grow strong and tall in the Nordic climate, which is a crazy mix of long sunny days (in the summer) mixed with short periods of intense rain. Moreover, many of the nasty pesticides that are used on oats in the rest of Europe are totally forbidden in Sweden. And the minimal traces of heavy metals that you find in regular Swedish oats are not significantly greater than those found in organic Swedish oats and fall well below what is considered to be safe for consumption. And this makes Swedish oats rather unique.

The original idea behind Oatly was to find a way to make a nutritious liquid product for people who just didn’t like cow’s milk or were unwilling to use it for personal reasons. Today, the concept of producing a drink directly from oats instead of first feeding oats to a cow and letting the cow process them into milk is an option but back when we started in the 1990s most people thought we were totally crazy. That’s okay, we are happy to be right where we are now making quality products based on oats for you to enjoy."

Although the packaging looks like milk, it tastes nothing like milk and - as Oatly requested - should not be compared to milk in any form. It is simply a drink made from oats.

Since it's an oat drink, NOT oat milk, it's more diluted and therefore when used for this recipe, my banana-chocolate pudding was not as creamy as when I use full-cream milk.
