What do you use instead of cows milk?

Post by Marc Meakin »

I have given up cows milk mainly because my milk frother started to smell cheesy when I didnt rinse it properly.
My best choice is Oat milk but there are so many to choose from.
Hemp,rice, almond, coconut, cashew, pea, potato, soya and seed. (have I forgotten some)
Im curious if the best milk for coffee is also best for cereals.
I feel like I should have a poll for Old Times sake but will resist unless there is genuine interest

I use Oatly (oat milk) on cereal. I don't drink tea or coffee or other nasty-tasting drinks.

Did you try others before you settled on Oatly?

I use oat milk from the modern milkman, but before that (or now if I run out) I tend to use Alpro. I also prefer oat milk, but coconut milk can be nice in a fancy coffee if you're using a milk frother.

I have tried some others. Soya milk tastes a bit weird. Can't really give you a full set of reviews though. But oat seems to rate higher than most others in terms of general pleasantness.

Will give coconut milk a whirl
