I’ve tried a few different oat milks and they just seem so watery tasting, with an artificial thickness to them. None of the milk alternatives I’ve tried come close actually… Maybe in coffee, but in a bowl of cereal, or a glass all by itself?
Hopefully we can bio-engineer milk production like meat and get the benefits without the drawbacks (could make it lactose free too I bet).
You could try making your own oat milk in a blender, it’s pretty easy if you have the filtering bags. Took me a couple batches to figure out the right amount of blending, but once you get it right it’s great. Blend too much and it comes out almost slimy, too little and it’s watery. I had to adjust blending times by about 2-3 seconds to dial it in.
I actually prefer the taste of almond milk, but I only consume milks as part of something else, like coffee or something. Chia seed pudding with almond milk is absolutely delicious imo.
But I’m glad that there are lots of alternatives available because I know people that prefer soy milk or oat milk for coconut milk for various reasons. Personally, I use different milks for different occasions because they all have unique characters that make them better for certain things.
Oat milk > Almond milk. Almond milk has a weird and bitter taste to it, oat milk doesn’t.
I also like the coconut water with rice drinks, but they hardly classify as milk even tho some brands may claim it’s a milk alternative.
