Chocolate and cream without the guilt

Chocolate and cream: the stuff of dreams but if only we could indulge ourselves without piling on the calories. Oatly, the healthy oat drink company, has a wholesome answer to your cravings for a chocolate fix in the afternoon, a restorative mug of hot chocolate, creamy pasta sauces and a quick and easy way to jazz up a fruit salad: Oatly Chocolate and Oatly Dairy Free Alternative to Cream.

A 100ml glass of Oatly Chocolate contains 1.5 g of fat, of which only 0.2g is saturated fat, and only 3 grams of the sugars is added sugar: the rest is natural sugars from oats. Oatly Chocolate is lower in calories (55 kcal per 100ml) than other chocolate drinks on the market and tastes great hot or cold: perfect to slake those chocolate cravings without damaging your healthy eating regime.

Oatly Dairy Free Alternative to Cream contains just 13g of fat per 100g, of which only 3g is saturated fat, and the overwhelming amount is the unsaturated 'good' fat. With only 150kcal per 100g as opposed to 445kcal per 100g for double cream, you can have the taste of cream without the guilt.

Check out www.oatly.com for recipes such as White Chocolate Sauce with Frozen Berries, Orange Salad with Caramel Sauce, Spiced Panacotta with Strawberry and Lime Topping, as well as savoury dishes such as soups, salad dressings and spaghetti sauces.

Oatly is available in four varieties (Oatly Enriched, Oatly Organic, Oatly Chocolate and Oatly Dairy Free Alternative to Cream) and is lactose, milk protein and soya free so it's great for anyone who suffers from milk protein allergy, lactose intolerance and/or an allergy to soya.

But you don’t have to have a food intolerance or allergy to enjoy the great taste and health benefits of Oatly. Oatly is naturally high in fibre, low in saturated fat and is cholesterol lowering: just one 250ml glass of Oatly provides a third (1g) of the daily requirement of beta-glucans (soluble fibre) for cholesterol reduction.

Still better, you can enjoy it without damaging your budget. Oatly Chocolate retails at £1.49 for a 1 litre pack and is available from selected Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Morrison’s stores as well as independent health food stores.

Oatly Dairy Free Alternative to Cream retails at 79p for a 250ml pack from Waitrose, Tesco, Morrison’s ASDA and independent health food stores. Oatly keeps for 4-5 days in the refrigerator once opened.
