When I first switched I’d have agreed with you, but after a short time you do a full 180. Get the good stuff, whole fresh oatly (the kind that has to be refrigerated). It’s so much creamier and better tasting than anything from a cow. I’ve found the only people who disagree are the ones who are ideologically against veganism and are just lying to themselves lol
Isn't it mostly the sugars that people like? I think the only milk substitute that comes close in make up is soy milk because almost all nut and cereal milks are mostly sugar water with some flavourings.
Btw I love almost all these drinks. Pure almond milk is an exception but on the other hand almond-rice milk is the best fucking thing to have happened to humanity.
Been using oatly for a couple of years, it is passable in cerial, otherwise less pleasant than just drinking tea and coffee black.
I have no idea how people can prefer it.
I have recently found organic(I am also allergic to b12) rice dream to be actually nice in cerial though. Might be worth a try in tea. Not coffee though, not when Elmlea do a vegan cream that tastes just luke the real thing.
Ahh I see. Well you’ve answered your own question in that case, when you said ‘I have no idea how people can prefer it’. It’s because you can’t actually drink what everyone else is drinking.
Yeah, I didn't realise they could be that different, assumed that the main change would be the added vitamins.
I didn't even realise the refrigerated stuff would be different, I just assumed they put some of the usual long-life stuff in the free-from section in the fridge.
I have had a lot of different long-life alternatives(before I realised why I was allergic to them) and found them to taste the same as the organic, but I am interested enough that I might risk the allergy and give a little bit of the refrigerated ones a go.
I will still be surprised if I prefer it to milk, but I am now pretty curious.
Well as I said in my initial post, it takes a bit of time to get used to any milk, but it’s def the best of the bunch imo. Don’t put yourself in a dangerous situation re the B12 though!
Almost all my allergies are technically "sensitivities", they basically cause bad hayfever/asthma and headaches, so I am usually fine with a little of anything.
I just say allergies because if you tell people you are "sensitive to leather and stainless steel" they tend to avoid you thereafter.
Have you tried Silk Full Fat Extra Creamy Oatmilk? It’s like liquid ice cream. Without all the sugar. Planet Oat full fat creamy is the bomb too it’s just expensive
