A Swedish company that specialises in healthy foods based on oats is bringing out an oat-based replacement for cream.

Oatly Alternative to Cream is cholesterol-free, low in saturated fat and low in calories.

The product targets consumers who are actively trying to avoid dairy, lactose or soya or people who simply want to eat healthier products.

The line is made from pure Swedish oats and water and can be easily used in cooking and baking wherever cream is used in a recipe, according to the company.

The 100g packs retail at 79p each.
