McDonald’s have announced the long-awaited introduction of a cult favorite milk to its menus nationwide.
The fast food giant revealed on Thursday the exciting news that oat milk would finally be available for customers to have in their McCafe drinks.
“Together, at last. MILKLAB Oat Milk has officially joined the McCafe line-up,” a post from the restaurant’s Facebook account read.
In a comment, a McDonald’s employee confirmed extra charges would apply for people who opted to have oat milk, which only be available at “participating restaurants”.
The announcement comes as a welcome to hundreds of new Aussies who flooded the comments with excitement over the new inclusion.
“I have been waiting so long to get an iced vanilla latte with oat milk from Maccas”, one woman wrote.
Someone else joked the news was so good that “this might be the best day of my life”.
While McDonald’s is yet to release a full list of stores, it was understood those with a McCafe would stock oat milk.The production of the plant milk contributes 80 per cent less greenhouse gas emissions and uses 60 per cent less energy than cow milk, while also using about ten times less water.
It has earned hype among lactose intolerant people, vegans and meat eaters alike for its texture and likeness to cow’s milk.
Nutritionists warn, that while it is lower in saturated fat than cow milk, it also contains less protein and calcium.
