    How do you get over the nutty aftertaste? Every milk derivative I have tried, always tasted really really bad compared to regular milk. Trust me, I want to go plant milk, but goodness the taste is awful for me.

      Which ones have you tried? Some soy milk has a pretty strong flavor, some doesn’t. Oat doesn’t have an aftertaste like that imo, or pea milk

        Of course almond milk, and that was the first one I tried. I hated that one because I don’t like almonds, so I didn’t want to give up there. When I tried oat milk, I liked it a little at first, but it started to have a play-doh taste like a day or two after opening it, and I did not buy another to see if it was a bad batch.

        Can you recommend some oat milk that will taste good, and not break the bank so to speak? :)

          Planet oat and chobani taste the best, if you can find it make sure to get the extra creamy/barista versions

          NextMilk! My partner is a picky eater but miraculously will consume NextMilk with cereal. It also works great for baking and cooking. We’ve stopped buying cow milk completely.

          The first time I tried oat milk (during early covid and literally didn’t have any other choices left for milk or milk alternatives) I didn’t like it. Every time after that I’ve actually thought it was pretty good. By far it’s the best thing to put in coffee or tea, but I don’t drink those often anymore and typically I drink them black anyway. I can’t recommend brands, but I’d just say to experiment. Write down which you like. I’m sure some people like all of them, because they made it to market and I’m sure we’re tested for preference.

          Tbh I’m a soy milk fan, oat isn’t really my thing either. But, I know lots of people love it which is why I recommend it. I like silk soy milk the most, I usually go for unsweetend vanilla but it doesn’t have the super strong soy flavor like other brands
