Product info & ingredients
YES! Overherd is made from 100% gluten free & organic oats. The kind farmers grow them in separate fields so you can be sure!
We are certified gluten free to coeliac standards.
YES! We couldn't let you miss out on all that calcium could we! Overherd is fortified with calcium and also vitamin B12.

Never! We never use any GMO ingredients! In fact, we only use gluten free and organic oats.
No! We only use organic oats, so absolutely no use of pesticides like glyphosate.
No! We add a small amount of coconut to Overherd to add creaminess.
However there is no coconut taste and the flavour is very much oat!
Overherd contains no added sugar.
There is some natural sugars within the oats, but in small quantities.
A 100ml serving of Overherd contains just 1.4g of sugar. This is 59% less than the leading oat milk brand and over 70% less than cow's milk.
We don't currently offer a zero sugar version, primarily because regular Overherd is already so low in sugar.
NO! Overherd contains zero sweeteners or flavourings!
The natural sweetness & flavour comes from the mighty oat. Now you can see why we love them so much.
Overherd oat milk is also low in sugar and contains just 1.4g per 100ml. That's 60% less than the leading brand of oat milk and over 70% less than cow's milk!
No! Overherd doesn't contain any gums or emulsifiers. Just plant based goodness.
Other brands may use thickening agents like Gellan Gum. Not here!
Yes! Overherd is made in a nut free facility :)
Overherd does contain coconut - this isn't a tree nut though.
Yes! Overherd is 100% vegan & plant based.
Good question! Almost all of the saturated fat content in Overherd comes from coconut MCT fats, which is short for medium chain triglycerides.
Although these fats are classed as saturated, they are generally considered to be one of the healthiest fats out there!
MCT fats have been shown to promote weight loss, provide energy throughout the day, and improve brain health.
But don't take our word for it, a quick Google search will tell you more about this superfood.
We add a small amount of chicory root fibre to Overherd and this is to give it a lovely smooth texture.
But it also has some great health benefits...
Chicory root is a prebiotic fibre powerhouse and makes Overherd higher in fibre vs. other oat milk brands.
We only use organic oats to make Overherd oat milk, this is because glyphosates and pesticides are commonly used in non-organic oat production.
However we also add coconut and chicory root fibre which are not from organic cultivation, so we can't classify Overherd as 100% organic, even though the vast majority of it is made with organic ingredients.
You might be wondering what is MCT powder?
MCT is a wonderfully creamy superfood that we add to our oat milk powder.
MCT stands for medium chain triglycerides, it sounds fancy but it's basically the healthiest type of fats extracted from coconuts.
Whilst most other oat milk brands use refined oils like rapeseed, we use cold pressed coconut MCTs instead.
Yes it's more expensive but we think it's worth it as it's delicious and creamy and has a host of health benefits.
We use cyanocobalamin as our source of vitamin B12 due to it's stability and shelf life.
If only it was this simple!
Oat flour (a.k.a powdered oats) is naturally insoluble and so when mixed with water will create more of a porridge consistency drink.
We use natural fermentation to convert the insoluble starch in the oats into soluble carbohydrates so you end up with a lovely smooth oat milk (this is how all oat milk is made).
We then add a little bit of coconut for creaminess and some chicory root for smoothness.
Finally we add calcium and vitamin B12 for fortification.
No, we don't add any iodine to Overherd oat milk powder.
