Please give me recommendations of oat milk that tastes good. I’ve been desperately looking and/or hoping for bacterial production to kick off to make it more environmentally sustainable, but I haven’t found anything that tastes remotely as good (on its own or in a latte). I drink ultrafiltered milk for what it’s worth, usually 2% so I don’t need the creamy aspect, I just like the flavor.
For me, Planet Oat’s milk is pretty good, but their “Barista Lovers” version is the most like regular milk to me. It’s really white and acts the most like regular milk. This should just be the default milk they make, to be honest. It’s somewhat hard to find, unfortunately, but they have a map at their site that can help.
US based here. Saaaame, I didn’t like Planet. I get Plant Folk oatmilk from Sam’s club, and I now detest anything more thick or savory than that. If anything, Plant Folk’s a little watery compared to most oat milks I tried locally.
The main reason to drink milk is not taste. It’s the perfect mix of macros for growing kids. Plant based drinks cannot come close to real milk for nutrition.
I have yet to find a milk substitute that pours the same way, specifically over cereal, but even into a glass. Dairy milk holds itself together fairly well, but non-dairy milk tends to splatter all over the place.
It’s a minor inconvenience that in no way counters said downsides of dairy milk, but it’s a frequent reminder that it’s not the same.
Most oat milks now include emulsified lipids for this reason. Oatly foams up to a head better than whole milk. You can’t make butter out of it, but I doubt you’re making butter from your milk at home anyway.
Yo these people both disagree and downvoted you… They are crazy if they think plant juices taste anything close to milk without having defective taste buds.
Oat milk tastes better than cow milk and I’ll die on this hill. The only reason I don’t drink it regularly is because it’s so much more expensive than the subsidized option
Ah yeah. Please explain how that is a personal attack. They surmised that something must be affecting your taste buds if you find that the two drinks taste the same. That would be an accurate summation if they feel the two taste very dissimilar.

I think I’ve tried this before but will give it another shot, maybe I just got the regular one.
I wonder too if there are genetic differences at play. Like folks that taste cilantro differently.
Anyways if it’s 90% as good as milk then that’ll be good enough for me to switch haha, thanks!
You’re welcome!
I hope you like it. I end up buying a couple of cartons every time I’m in the store, ha.

I’ve personally found pea milk to be the substitute that most closely resembled cows milk in taste and texture.

Smoking crack kills taste buds.

Only if your tastebuds have failed completely. You probably smoke or have killed your sense of taste by other means if you believe that.

The price for oat milk is a scam. The ingredients to make 1 liter of oat milk costs about 10 cents. The rest is profit milked off the gullible.

I actually agree with Treczoks about them not tasting remotely the same.
My wife gets the extra creamy oat milk. I can easily tell it’s not regular milk, and it’s just not for me. I honestly tried to like it.

I didn’t get personal. Sorry if you took it personally.
