    I’ve tried oat milk a few times last year. Never quite got used to the taste. The stuff I tried all tasted quite sweet and a bit like coffee creamer. I certainly wouldn’t use it as a 1:1 replacement for milk, but I guess people generally like it.

    Between my milk and cheese habits, I’m definitely glad I’m not vegan :D

        Sure, but growing up in the Netherlands, milk and cheese are pretty much part of my religion. I honestly couldn’t imagine life without them.

        I’ve tried a bunch of milk replacements, vegan cheeses, etc. Because I DO prefer something more ethical. But especially for cheese, there’s really no replacement that tastes just like the real thing.

      We really like oat milk. there’s different types that have different tastes and textures. Maybe try another brand.

        I did try several brands, but all of them were definitely sweeter than what I’m used to in regular milk. Any particular brand you’d recommend?

          Are you in the US? If so Trader Joe’s has two types- one they refrigerate with the milk, and another that is kept with the almond milk at room temperature- that one is a smaller box and has a good texture that I like. You could try both though.

      Personally, I mostly use oat milk in my morning cereal, which generally has oatmeal in it, so it fits in quite naturally…

        Yeah, for stuff like that I imagine it doesn’t make much of a difference. Would probably work great with things like chocolate cereals as well which are sweet anyway.

      It’s worth trying a few brands. We get ours delivered, and if we ever have to get an extra carton from the shop it’s way worse than the usual sort. What we get mostly is amazing tho, can’t get enough.

      You might like almond or cashew milk. They (ironically) have less of the nutty aftertaste. And IMO just always stick to unsweetened (or minimally sweetened) choices of all of them.

        I don’t think I’ve ever tried cashew milk before… will give that a try for sure. I love cashews anyway, so might as well.
