Oat milk is the best, even better than regular milk (might be because it has more fat and sugar than my regular milk lol)

Nut ... nut allergy ... and for some reason my spellcheck corrects nut to but.

Anywho, I'm definitely not allergic to buts, thank dog.

Oatmilk might not be safe for gluten sensitive people.

Thank dog for almond milk!

My favorite is plain soy. I just don't like the gums and sweeteners and the protein is great. Its surprisingly creamy for low fat.

So true. It also foams about the same as regular milk so it’s perfect in lattes. It’s perfect for baking too at the easiest 1:1 ratio. It also stays good for longer than regular milk. The only negative is that it’s more expensive, but I think of it as an upgrade.

FYI I seem to recall that almond milk is horrible for the environment because of the quantity of almonds and water required. Oat milk is supposed to be the better choice from that perspective, and supposedly it's easy to make yourself but I haven't tried that.

Here's a breakdown for some of the popular ones; almond milk is problematic for its water usage, but even accounting for locale, it doesn't even come close to dairy milk.

That is, don't let "perfect" be the enemy of "better" if your choice of milk is part of your environmentalism and you like almond milk.

I drink soy personally. It has a good amount of nutrition, closer to regular milk than the others if I'm not mistaken.

Agreed. It doesn't taste food, takes a ton of water, and splits super bad in hot drinks. Just all around bad.

They're both shit. Almonds and cashews take a fuckton of water to grow. Then they add more water to make "milk" to ship around the country.

Make your own oat milk. Is superior to all other milks and you don't need fancy equipment to do it

It becomes very slimy, I've tried it. People say you need enzymes. I've considered spitting in it, but that would mean others won't drink it.

Personally, I use soy milk for nearly everything.

Also, this post is about milking nuts. Oats are not nuts.

I support this but to anyone not drinking plant milk yet: just start with the off-the-shelf ones, they're not shit lol, might make you realize you might to try making your own.

soy milk wasn't invited to this meme and as someone for whom it's their second favorite bean water I'm offended

Almond milk is actually very good, the problem is to find the good ones, many companies will just make dirty water, but some companies just make it so good...

5

Sadly i don't remember, where i currently live they sell the good ones only in some stores but surpsingly in the opposite side of my country the good one is sold everywhere, even in pubs, bar, coffe etc etc

I don't mind almond milk that has been flavored with vanilla but yeah oat milk is good. cashew is ok. never had hazelnut or walnut/pecan whatever that is, and...

y no hemp seed milk ? it's as good as the others.

3

It was the first time I saw any, it was some brand I never heard of as well but it was on special. I guess it's not that bad, the flavor and texture was fine. My main use case for milk, animal or otherwise, is foaming it up for coffee. I haven't tried that yet.

K I actually thought this was supposed to be a joke about the blue milk in the first movie.

What about getting someone pregnant? Is their milk also but milk in a roundabout way?

What do you mean? Getting something pregnant to access their milk have been standard practise for thousands of years.

Nothing roundabout about it
