We pasteurized milk for a reason, raw milk was a cause of a lot of issues.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (18 children)

There's not much of a reason to drink milk nowadays anyway. Oat milk has become so good in emulating the taste of cow milk that there's just no point in going for the original product with all its massive downsides.

Please give me recommendations of oat milk that tastes good. I’ve been desperately looking and/or hoping for bacterial production to kick off to make it more environmentally sustainable, but I haven’t found anything that tastes remotely as good (on its own or in a latte). I drink ultrafiltered milk for what it’s worth, usually 2% so I don’t need the creamy aspect, I just like the flavor.

For me, Planet Oat's milk is pretty good, but their "Barista Lovers" version is the most like regular milk to me. It's really white and acts the most like regular milk. This should just be the default milk they make, to be honest. It's somewhat hard to find, unfortunately, but they have a map at their site that can help.

I think I’ve tried this before but will give it another shot, maybe I just got the regular one.

I wonder too if there are genetic differences at play. Like folks that taste cilantro differently.

Anyways if it’s 90% as good as milk then that’ll be good enough for me to switch haha, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

You're welcome!

I hope you like it. I end up buying a couple of cartons every time I'm in the store, ha.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

US based here. Saaaame, I didn't like Planet. I get Plant Folk oatmilk from Sam's club, and I now detest anything more thick or savory than that. If anything, Plant Folk's a little watery compared to most oat milks I tried locally.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I don't know what is available where you're living. I buy the Vemondo No Milk from my local Lidl. The name comes from the fact that we cannot legally call those milk alternatives "milk", so a lot of brands now go with "no milk" or "not milk" instead of "oat drink". lol

They have a Barista oat milk too but I found that one to be not that great, so I can at least encourage you to try different companies & product lines even within the same company.

I've personally found pea milk to be the substitute that most closely resembled cows milk in taste and texture.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The main reason to drink milk is not taste. It's the perfect mix of macros for growing kids. Plant based drinks cannot come close to real milk for nutrition.

I have yet to find a milk substitute that pours the same way, specifically over cereal, but even into a glass. Dairy milk holds itself together fairly well, but non-dairy milk tends to splatter all over the place.

It's a minor inconvenience that in no way counters said downsides of dairy milk, but it's a frequent reminder that it's not the same.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Real milk contains emulsified lipids. It's the reason for its unbeatable texture.

Shake a jug of oak milk and nothing changes. Shake a jug of whole dairy milk and eventually you'll have butter.

Pour a tablespoon of vinegar into oat milk and it tastes bad. Pour a tablespoon of vinegar into whole dairy milk and you'll be straining ricotta cheese out of it in no time.

Dairy is superior. There's some strong competition out there, but all the plant milks just wish they were dairy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Most oat milks now include emulsified lipids for this reason. Oatly foams up to a head better than whole milk. You can't make butter out of it, but I doubt you're making butter from your milk at home anyway.

Well TBF outbreaks of AIDs causing viruses probably wasn't high on the list in 1386 but I agree with your sentiment.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

AIDS-causing viruses? H5N1 is influenza... Have I missed some kind of news that we can get AIDS from the flu now??

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Yes. AIDS is airborne now. Mask up!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No way... Masking up makes the person not look as cool doing it. It doesn't feel as good.

No problem! Now you can get "silicone face shields! SFS or SupaFaSe! With SupaFaSe, you feel every one of his airborne molecules going into your body! With SupaFaSe-R, ribbed, the molecules are extra bouncy for your pleasure! Ask for SupaFaSe-R over the counter!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I have mask induced asthma. Also, I am alpha mail.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Link? Or are we just trolling the surprisingly large overlap of people who are unjustifiably freaked out by AIDS and people who think wearing masks is limiting their freedums?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Mostly just trolling. If AIDS was airborne, you would not be learning about it from a comment.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Lol they are definetly trolling
