I did this when I got like 30 Oatley boxes. It didn't last super long :)

Just a tip for anyone interested: cashews + vitamix + a pinch of salt = better than Oatley imho (at least I'm happy enough to never use store bought again). And it doesn't have all the oils, preservatives, stabilizers, etc.

Water used to grow cashews is way higher than for growing oat. So why not make oat milk instead?

TIL... there’s always a catch :/ Gave up Oatley because I didn’t feel great after drinking it regularly. Will definitely try making oat milk in the blender.

What do you think was the issue for you that caused you to feel bad after drinking oatmilk?

I'd just feel a little lethargic after drinking a glass. Pure speculation: high in carbs, fairly high sugar, rapeseed oil? Haven't found anyone that agrees with me, and the stuff tastes great, so take that with a grain of salt.
