Good thing is i dont like almond milk. I always thought it was one of the more fancy alternatives because of the price. But tbh i would rank it somewhere near D tier. While some of the oat based milks rank for me even higher(S) than cow juic(A-B).
One thing you can try to look out for, is that it’s fermented. Cheaper oat milk is basically just oat flour mixed with water, oil, sugar and salt. And yeah, the better stuff is fermented. Unfortunately, that’s not the most marketable term, so those can be tricky to spot. The fermentation turns some of the oat into sugar, so you may find “no added sugar” written onto the packaging in big letters.
Once you’ve opened them, yeah. Even with refrigeration, they’ll go bad within 1½ weeks, sometimes less, so I really don’t think you can skip refrigeration, unless you do use it up in like a day or two.
There’s oat milk powder you can buy, which you can mix with water to make however much oat milk you need (the unfermented kind). I’ve only tried one such powder so far, which I really didn’t like, but it tasted kind of ‘stale’, so I’m hoping that’s just a defect with that specific product. Other powders do also have different ingredients, so should taste somewhat different anyways.
Well, and what’s also possible is to take some oatmeal and the other ingredients I listed above, throw them into a mixer and then strain the remaining oatmeal pulp afterwards. You can eat that oatmeal pulp in cereal or such. You can also throw a ripe banana into the mixer to help make it more creamy, if the banana taste is okay for what you want to use it.
My other half takes their coffee with extra creamy oatmilk. We ran out of cow juice and I had a glass of oats with my sando the other day. Good gracious that’s good stuff!

Is there a common, good oat milk?
I’m honestly here for oatly’s base oat milk - it cooks relatively well like regular milk. I use it in so many sauces

Thanks! Does either require refrigeration?
