    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.

        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.

          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.

      I don’t know what is available where you’re living. I buy the Vemondo No Milk from my local Lidl. The name comes from the fact that we cannot legally call those milk alternatives “milk”, so a lot of brands now go with “no milk” or “not milk” instead of “oat drink”. lol

      They have a Barista oat milk too but I found that one to be not that great, so I can at least encourage you to try different companies & product lines even within the same company.

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