Oat drink brand Oatside has launched its latest offering in Malaysia, the new protein oat milk, designed to meet the needs of active lifestyles.
The Oatside Protein comes in 250ml packs and available in vanilla and chocolate flavours.
Each Oatside Protein pack contains 20g of plant-based protein with just 2g of fat and no added cane sugar. As a reference, three eggs contain 20g of protein and 15g of fat.
Oatside founder and chief executive officer Benedict Lim said they are excited to introduce Oatside Protein to Malaysia with its combination of irresistible taste and health benefits.
“It can be difficult to hit our daily protein needs especially when we’re on-the-go and Oatside Protein makes it so much easier. They also taste great with a smooth texture as we blended our signature oat base with high quality sprouted pea proteins.”
According to MRNI (Malaysia Recommended Nutrient Intake), a healthy adult should take 1g of protein per kg of bodyweight. For active adults looking to build muscle, the recommended intake of protein could be higher.
Protein plays a critical role as part of a healthy diet to build and repair tissues, maintain muscle and support the immune system.
The Oatside Protein has its protein source from sprouted non-GMO pea protein, which are proteins extracted from peas after soaking in water, without the use of any harsh processing methods like acid hydrolysis.
The Oatside Protein provides complete protein with all nine essential amino acids and more than 3,000mg Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA), and being sprouted means the proteins are more digestible and bioavailable.
Here are the fitness enthusiasts and early adopters who have tried the new Oatside Protein and the results were quite positive.
“Oatside Protein is a total game changer! I’m obsessed – packed with 20g of protein, BCAAs and it’s super affordable, all in a pocket-sized package!,” said Shazmone, pilates instructor at Sunday Pilates.
Fly Project instructor Tatty, Instructor shared, “I love how it has all I need for me to jump start my workout. I no longer need to stuff myself with food and regret having too much food before I start my workout. With the size, I can just pack it up in my bag and have it before my workout.”
“I do see a much faster muscle recovery but that takes time as you have to consistently take it but I love how a small pack of this can give me so much energy to pump me up for a workout. Especially those hefty morning workouts where you are in no mood to eat, this would do the trick,” Tatty added.
Badminton athlete and content creator Lucas Chew has a great passion for chocolate and naturally the Oatside Protein chocolate flavour is her favourite.
“It has become my go-to for a quick refuel, and it tastes amazing that it feels like a little treat after my workouts,” she said.
Oatside Protein in both vanilla and chocolate flavours will be hitting shelves in Malaysia this month. It’s available at supermarkets and convenience stores such as Qra, MyNews, Jaya Grocer, Village Grocer, Aeon, Aeon Big, CU Mart, Ben’s Independent Grocer, Lotus’s and Family Mart.
It will also be available online through Shopee, Lazada and Oatside’s TikTok platforms.
