Almost everyone and their favorite fitness influencer talks about eating more protein, even though it’s mostly elite athletes who need to think about their protein intake. The rest of us, in general, consume more than enough. Fibers, on the other hand, is something more people should focus on.
If you agree that people should talk more about fiber, you’ll be happy to know that on this page, we are going to talk about them, and especially oat fiber. Because if there are two things we like to talk about, it's oats and fibers. Just don't call us fiber influencers, we prefer to be referred to as fiber content creators.
The Fiber Gap
Across Europe, average fiber intakes remain below the recommended 25-35g per day, with an For some, that’s a pretty big gap to bridge, but on the bright side, it’s a very tasty gap to bridge since some sources for dietary fiber/fibre are fruits, berries, nuts, veggies, and oat drink like the Oatly Whole, Semi and No Sugars.
What Is Dietary Fiber?
Dietary fibers are like the fancy cleaners of the nutrition world. It’s a type of carbohydrate the body can’t digest, so, instead of breaking down to sugars like other types of carbs, it passes through the body largely undigested and, depending on the type, can help support normal digestive processes such as bowel function and helping stuff move through the body, delaying blood sugar rises after meals.
Studies show that diets that are higher in fiber are linked to and research shows that certain fibers can support a
What Are Soluble Fiber/Fibres?
There are two types of dietary fiber: insoluble fiber and soluble fiber. Both play a role as part of a varied and balanced diet.
Insoluble fiber passes through the digestive system largely unchanged, while soluble fiber, such as beta‑glucan (found in oats), dissolves in liquid to form a gel‑like substance. This property contributes to many of the physiological effects associated with soluble fiber.
Oat beta glucan has been shown to lower blood cholesterol, a risk factor for coronary heart disease. As part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, oat beta glucan helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels.
Does Oat Drink Contain Oat Fiber?
The Oatly production process is designed to retain many of the oats natural properties when turning them into a tasty beverage, including a portion of the fiber. Each 290 ml glass of Oatly – Whole, Semi and No Sugars provide at least 2g of fibre/fiber, which is good since
So the answer to "does oat drink contain oat fiber" is: does a bear poop in the woods? Yes (if it’s not a polar bear), and probably on a very regular basis, due to a healthy gut environment thanks to a fiber-rich diet.
Since responding to a question with another question about the restroom habits of bears is the rude and annoying person’s way of giving an affirmative answer, we have now established that Oatly Whole, Semi and No Sugars contains fiber but I still would like to apologise.
Beta Glucans, Oat Fiber With Health Benefits
Part of the total fiber in Oatly Whole, Semi and No Sugars are oat beta glucans Beta glucan has been shown to lower cholesterol, and high cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease.
The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g of oat beta glucan, in combination with a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
The beta-glucans and the added vitamins and minerals in our fortified oat drinks, like the Whole, Semi, and No Sugars make them a great choice for anyone who wants to sustain or increase the plant-based ingredients in their diet.
The beta-glucans, together with the added vitamins and minerals in products such as Oatly Semi and No Sugars, make them a great choice for anyone looking to sustain or increase plant-based options in their diet.
Why Do High Fiber Foods Matter
Dietary fiber is an important part of a varied and balanced diet. It passes through the digestive system and and that's not just a gut feeling we have, even though it probably is a good gut feeling, but also, you know, science and stuff.
Many people do not consume enough fiber, as mentioned in the section about the fiber gap. While some well‑established benefits of fiber are recognised, research continues to explore its wider role in dietary patterns and overall health. Emerging research is exploring how certain fibers interact with the gut microbiome. These interactions may contribute to broader aspects of health, although this area continues to evolve.
What Are Some High Fiber Foods Easily Found In Grocery Stores?
There are many tasty, plant-based and fiber-rich foods you can eat, and different types of fiber are found across a wide range of foods. That’s why it’s a good idea to include a variety of fiber sources in your diet each day. Like apples, passion fruit, pears, avocados, blackberries, broccoli, sweet potatoes, artichokes and other fruits, berries and vegetables. But also legumes like lentils and kidney beans, whole grains like oats or brown rice, as well as nuts and seeds.
Starting your day with a bowl of granola made with oatmeal, nuts and seeds, together with some chopped up fruits and oat drink is a great way to raise your fiber intake.
3 Easy Ways To Get More Fiber
- Swap white bread for whole grain bread.
- Add beans, lentils or seeds to dishes you already make.
- Add one portion of fruit per day, for instance you can enjoy a smoothie made with fruit and oat drink.

How Much Fiber Is In Oatly Oat Drink?
Our Oat drink Semi and Oat drink No Sugars contain 2 g of fiber per serving of 290 ml, Oat drink Whole contains 2,5 g per cup serving, glass serving, or any serving of 290 ml. But they’re not only a source of fiber content, they also contain calcium, iodine, and riboflavin (B2).
The creamy texture in our drinks comes from both oats and rapeseed oil, which has less saturated fat and mostly unsaturated fats. This was probably more information than you needed since the question was about fiber, but if you're only drinking oat drink because of the taste, like most people, now you also know about some of the nutrition that comes with the taste.
Fibermaxxing And Fiber Layering.
Fibermaxxing is (or was, depending on when you're reading this) a digestive health trend that spread quickly across social media. The idea is to hit a daily goal of 30 grams of fiber in one meal. Considering the fiber gap, this is a social media trend with potential to actually have some good real-life consequences, just like Labubu!
If jumping on trends with two x's sounds too exxtreme for you, dietitians like our own are recommending the more steady method of spreading your fiber intake through a diverse mix of sources in your daily diet.
So instead of maxxing with a big bowl of kidney beans, you layer the fibers over your day by mixing beans with vegetables, fruits, lentils, oat drink like our Oatly Whole, Semi and No Sugars, or any of the foods listed if you search for foods with fiber on the internet.
How Much Fiber Is In Cow's Milk?
Cow's milk does not contain any dietary fiber. When people talk about dietary fibers in general, they refer to plant-based foods. As animals do not produce or contain the indigestible carbohydrates and lignin found in plants, meat, dairy, and eggs have zero natural fiber.
When it comes to plant based drink alternatives, like almond drink, soy drink or drink made from peas, oat drink has the highest fiber content.
But all drinks have different benefits; for instance, oat drink has less protein than soy drink, so everything depends on who you are and what you need. If you're into comparing the nutritional content of one cup of store bought cow's milk and one cup store bought oat drink, you should read our 17 facts about Oatly and nutrition.
