The Take
Skip the Oat Milk Iced Latte at Starbucks. It is ultra-processed oat milk from Oatly packed with rapeseed oil and stabilizers, not a clean alternative.
The iced format avoids some steaming issues but still layers syrups over the same industrial base that the brand pushes as virtuous.
The Verdict
This drink exists to let people feel progressive while consuming the same processed junk. The oat milk hides behind marketing that ignores its rapeseed oil and additive load.
Order an Americano with a splash of heavy cream if available.
