Guardian: "Almonds are out. Dairy is a disaster. So what milk should we drink? "
- Thread starter Sqrt
- Start date
Yeah, I'm surprised to see pea milk so infrequently mentioned in these discussions. In particular, Ripple Half-Half is my favorite dairy-alternative product ever.
And then my go-to to just drink straight up is flax milk with pea protein in it. Or of course ol' trusty soy.
Oatmilk being the one to catch on has me a bit puzzled as someone who's been sampling this stuff for the past decade, even if I like it. At least oat milk isn't candy like a lot of almond milks that are all added sugar and no protein.

it kinda checks my boxes - Oatly Barista is rich enough to eat with cereal, it works great in coffee, it's not bad for the environment, and it doesn't detonate my GI tract. I like it better than any almond milk I've had.
I read this yesterday and remembered the thread from a few weeks ago about dairy. So I bought oat milk yesterday. Not tried it yet.
I'll stick with my whole milk. Using anything else in my cereal or for dunking my Oreos is fucking disgusting.
I really like macadamia nut milk. I mostly use it for smoothies. My partner is a huge fan of oat milk.
I dig this; very little sugar (1/6th as much as regular milk), tons of protein (more than milk), no cholesterol, and cashews make it super smooth & creamy.
Kinda refuse to stop eating almonds, sorry. 71% of our carbon emissions are from 100 fossil fuel producers. Shaming individuals for eating certain produce is just taking the bait/keeping the heat off the real problem.
But lookout! Here comes oat milk! It's new and different, not like that tired Soy shit that your parents drink or that almond milk that everyone thinks is so great.
Oat milk is new. Different. Special. You want to drink oat milk. You need to drink oat milk. Everyone else should, too. They don't know what they're missing.
Can't stand non-dairy milk of any kind so I just don't drink milk.
The daughter drinks pea milk.

You can drink whatever you'd like. I drink milk from a cow, usually skim, but I use whole milk in my coffee.
Oat Milk's been around since the 90s though.
Love that stuff but it's not exactly a milk substitute.
I drink rice milk. What does it mean by a water guzzler? It uses more water to make than is in it?
Like, sure, almond milk isn't super sustainable, it's got bee issues, whatever. But when you put that next to dairy farming, which when it comes to the sheer scale of its ecological weight is pretty incomparable, that seems kind of trite.
Always strive for improvement and all that but one of those milks is not like the other.

I've just been told that it's totally been around since forever and not a fad at all.
Hmmm, I don't think they sell oat milk where I buy my food. It's either dairy, almond or soy. I dislike soy and I'm lactose intolerant so I drink Almond. I guess I'll switch to oat if it's affordable and tastes as good as everyone here is hyping it up as. I wonder if there won't be some horrible environmental effect oat milk causes too. Milk seems cursed.
