I have never heard of it. Why would you use that instead of milk?

 

One reason is to avoid the cruelty involved in the dairy industry but another is to avoid the health problems many people suffer from consuming dairy products. Something like 70% of adults do not have the enzymes necessary to digest lactose, although more white Europeans do. Dairy has been linked to auto immune conditions such as Type 1 diabetes, MS, Lupus as well as ear and sinus problems and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.

 

I'm intrigued, never heard of it before.

There seems to be a lot of different milks these days.

 

Welcome on board Rona I love it, although I can't say I like it in tea but I love it so much in coffee I don't mind going without tea. It gives a lovely creamy taste when added to porridge but is equally nice on cold cereal.

 

I couldn't afford it when Alfie was alive, all my money went on him

 

Almond milk is lovely too.

 

There's all sorts of kinds of milk these days, hubby has almond milk on his cereal which he's found stops him getting such bad cattarh. I don't like milk at all and have the merest smidgen in tea, don't drink coffee, I've tried a little of the various milks and don't like them either.

 

I have decided to try the oat milk as my blood pressure is getting a little high. I don't like soya milk at all and won't buy almond milk due to the air miles. Although the Provamel, which I'm trying, comes from Belgium..... have to see if I can find a British producer if I do like it.

 

I love oaty Milk! I recently swapped it for normal milk. Tried soya too but don't think it agreed with me. So oats few!

 

Oatly chocolate oat milk is lovely hot or cold. Particularly nice hot with a shot of espresso in it!

 

That sounds far too much for me......I don't particularly like strong flavours. Going to tell OH though, sounds exactly up his street

 

I'm not keen on oat milk, but if you like it then it's a good solution for you.

I have Koko milk, which contains coconut. I don't like coconut, but I do like this. It doesn't taste of coconut.

 

I used to get it for my daughters BF when they lived with us as he is vegan, he also used to sometimes have almond milk too or soya milk sometimes. He didn't use it in drinks though he mostly had black coffee so not sure what its like in drinks.

 

Coconut and oat are the best substitutes...... IMO

Not that I buy either, nor do I drink cows (or any other animals) milk. Stems from being allergic as a kid I think.

 

I've been using oat milk in my coffee for a few months now, after approaching a vegan member on here to ask for ideas, although I use Alpro. I'll be shopping tomorrow and will look out for that brand.

I'd tried a few different alternatives to milk, including soya (I found it OK, and will happily use it on cereals but, in coffee, it always seemed to curdle for me ), coconut milk ( :Yuck but then, I don't like coconuts) rice milk was OK, but I found it thin and watery. Oat milk, for me, seems to provide the best alternative. Doesn't taste too different in my coffee than cow's milk, and has the right texture. I'd probably use almond milk as an alternative, if I couldn't find oat milk, but I find it flavours my coffee a bit too much, for my liking.

My vegan friend told me the alpro & tesco's soya milk doesn't curdle in coffee, i just assumed all soya milk would be same in that aspect. I only like the unsweetened/wholebean soya in hot drinks. I've tried almond, hazelnut, coconut, rice and I liked the taste of oat milk but it seemed bit more watery in my tea than the soya, but maybe i should try another brand. However the Oatly chocolate milk heated is too damn good.

 

I did get a free carton of coconut water in my shopping delivery but it was disgusting. I ended up throwing it out. And I rarely throw food away as I think it's a sin. I'm guessing the milk is better?

 

Coconut milk is fine. Coconut water tastes like a muddy puddle.

 

I really like coconut water lol

 

I tried oat milk. Yuk

 

OH agrees with you, but he'll hate the coconut milk even more

 

I have had oat milk for years. I'm intolerant to dairy so it's what I use for porridge and occasionally in tea, when out I have a tiny drop of cow milk in tea and that seems OK and long as people are very careful that's it's only a drop. I use oatly oat milk

 

I know you said you don't like soya milk, but how does oat milk compare in terms of thickness and taste?

 

Chocolaty oat milk in coffee is just NOM :Happy

 

It's much nicer than soya. Much creamier. I'm just not keen on the taste. It's ok in coffee but not nice on cereal.

 

I love it on cereal - I have cold oat flakes with berries and oat milk or porridge with it.

out of curiosity what is vegan cheese made from? soya?

Some of the posh ones are made from nuts - soaked cashews to form a cream but most of the ones sold in supermarkets are coconut oil based so high in saturated fat.

Apparently Coconut milk or soya are best for tea and Almond milk for coffee. Oat milk is just for cold stuff, oh and porridge

Oat is lovely in hot coffee. Soya in tea is the devils spawn and almond separates in hot coffee :Vomit

 

Hazelnut milk with weetabix though, guys. Yum.

 

oh my!!!!

Hazelnut milk, now that does sound delish

Where can I get some?

 

Is hazelnut milk a British product? I might give that a try.

 

I genuinely have no idea lol

oh my!!!!

Hazelnut milk, now that does sound delish

Where can I get some?

All my local supermarkets have it :O

 

I've tried the Chocolate Oat milk it makes lovely hot chocolate! but I didn't like oat milk in tea. (I don't drink coffee). Are different brands of Oat milk different thickness etc? wondering if another brand would work better? Almond and coconut milk is out don't like the taste in tea.

 

Apparently Coconut milk or soya are best for tea and Almond milk for coffee. Oat milk is just for cold stuff, oh and porridge

 

Have a nose in the long life section too if they have one

 

out of curiosity what is vegan cheese made from? soya?

 

Rice Dream milk from the long life section is my choice.

A very slight sweetness which I soon got used to. I don't drink tea, but it works for me in coffee.

I use Sainsbury's Feta style vegan cheese, garlic & herb cream cheese, and violife sliced - all very sparingly. (I was a bit of a cheese addict before )

Alpro yoghurts, cream, custard and Belgian dark chocolate desserts - all sparingly as a treat.
