Milk-Like

Oatsome
Barista Oat Drink

7.8
Solid natural choice that scored high except in our coffee test. High added sugar made it one of our sweeter candidates. For those that like a sweeter creamer, it might be a good fit.

Creamy delicious oat taste scored well on all of our tests and price makes it our #1 pick. Works equally well as a milk alternative and creamer - but shines in coffee if you don't add sugar.

Delicious and slightly sweet, this oat milk tastes great in a glass by itself or your morning coffee. Great option for newbies to Oatmilk, but GMO status and price kept it from being #1.

A little stronger oat taste taste makes this a bit of personal preference but it scored slightly lower than the others on both the milk and coffee tests, so highest price doesn't seem justified.

As part of my slow progress towards a healthier diet, I tried multiple replacements for half & half in my morning coffees - eventually using Almond milk. But about 18 months ago, I tried Oatmilk and liked the test a little better. Later I learned more about the issues of water and bees surrounding Almonds, so I am now dedicated to Oat milk as my milk replacement in coffee and cereal (where I consume the most dairy nowadays). I think that coffee creamers and even milk is something that many of us have different tastes for, so you might want to try a few or all of these to see what you like better. I was really surprised that all of them tasted pretty good. Enjoy your Oat milk and know you are doing something good for your health.
