Enjoy the creamy, delicious taste of oat yogurt, a fantastic plant-based alternative perfect for breakfast bowls, smoothies, or as a dairy-free topping. This versatile yogurt alternative offers a smooth texture and a subtly sweet flavor, making it a healthy and satisfying choice for any meal.

Storage Time

Once opened, consume oat yogurt within 5-7 days. Unopened, it can last until the 'best by' date, typically 2-3 weeks.

Temperature

Always keep oat yogurt refrigerated at temperatures between 0°C and 4°C (32°F and 40°F) to maintain optimal freshness and prevent spoilage.

Freezing

Yes, oat yogurt can be frozen to extend its shelf life. For best results, transfer it to an airtight, freezer-safe container, leaving a little headspace as it may expand. Frozen oat yogurt can be stored for up to 2-3 months. Thaw it slowly in the refrigerator overnight. The texture may change slightly upon thawing, becoming a bit more watery, but it remains perfectly safe and delicious for cooking or baking.

Signs of Spoilage

• An unusually sour or off smell, distinct from its natural tangy aroma.
• Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy patches of various colors (green, white, black).
• A significant change in texture, such as excessive separation of liquid, a slimy feel, or a bubbly appearance.
