Yeah that’s about right! Oat milk is the king of coffee creamer though
Life pro tip: If you are vegan and lactose intolerant get oat milk. Out of all the alternatives that one tastes the closest to the real thing by a country mile.
I tried oat milk. While it tastes good, IMO it tastes nothing like milk. The closest description I could give for the taste being “cereal juice”
It’s an interesting cooking ingredient though. Certainly has its own unique flavor. It’s also a nice refresher drink.
My biggest gripe with oat milk is that it isn’t as “filling” as the alternatives. It’s a drink, not a food. So when I try to 1:1 use it as a substitute it can leave me feeling sick (example, my morning coffee which I load with milk to get me started)
TLDR: be mindful of the fact that it’s VERY different from milk, even if oat milk tastes good.
That is why oat milk is perfect for cereal
I’d recommend not substituting 1:1. If you go easy on the oat milk to coffee ratio, you’ll have a better experience. IMHO, oat doesn’t alter the taste experience of coffee as much as the other stuff, which is my foremost reason for preferring it.
Oh I like lots of it. To a point I make my coffee stronger than most people just to counter how much I dilute it using milk. Think like a 50% water 50% milk ratio. Sometimes 70/30 if I feel like having it stronger.
Yeah but they’re out
No, they’re oat
I thought they drank Parmalat up there in Canada.
Idk, I never figured out the bags. Poked one with a straw, but when i set it down to get a cookie, it just like spurted milk, like a mortally wounded animal bleeding out.
They’re basically animals, you know. They grow them like that.
No, they’re oot

Go sit on the bench
Oat milk is also the best for the environment by an unironic country mile.
Even better than soy? Soy is my favorite
Just think about the difference in producing Soy and Producing Oats.
Oats are cheaper, more widespread globally (farmed in most climates) around the world and require less water. Obviously it would be the better option.
That’s not to say that Soy milk isn’t good. It’s just not as good
My grandfather farmed both soy and oats, but I wasn’t aware there was a drastic difference between the water consumed. Now I know. Sucks because I really think soy has the best texture and flavor, but I’m not that picky
Don’t worry too hard about it. Even partial reduction is great. Personally I’m just a vegetarian.
Everyone does their part somehow. Don’t let purists discourage you from reducing to the level YOU are comfortable at
Thanks for the encouragement! My main thing is I have celiac and severe lactose intolerance. I can drink that lactose free milk, but I prefer to drink plant milks. The one I’ve tried to avoid is almond milk, after my discord buddy explained how wasteful it is to produce them.
Oh yeah almond milk REALLY is not an eco friendly option. Your buddy is right on that. It doesn’t help that Almonds are usually grown in countries that are poorer, exploiting them and draining them (even more) of their water supply without paying them.
There’s an entire metaphorical water mafia going on that effectively steals water from third world countries while using underpaid (and sometimes even slave) labor. Almonds are one of the things said water is used for.
Even from an animal rights perspective that’s messed up because of human mistreatment.
Almond milk uses tons of water compared to other plant milks, but still much better than cow milk at least.

I have a hard time finding oat milk without added sugar, and I also find it expires much faster than almond milk. I get unsweetened oat milk if I think I’ll be able to go through it quickly enough otherwise I have to dump like more than 50% which feels like a waste in a different way.
I love oat milk in my coffee. It’s got a good texture if that makes sense
Mouthfeel you mean?
Listen I’m a trans woman so “mouth feel” has a specific connotation haha
This fucking sent me 😂
I don’t get it :(
Is there any explanation that just uses words?
It’s funnier this way, but basically it’s talking about dick.

DON’T
So oat milk doesn’t have the same mouthfeel as…
Disappoint :(
The way I’d describe it is that, compared to other milk alternatives, it is the has the most body.
ie, think of it being closer to full-fat milk than to non-fat milk. You’ll notice that the taste lingers in your mouth a bit longer. (body can refer to it lingering for various reasons, but in this case, I think it’s fat content, like in milk?)
Another one with a body you might like is rice milk.
fwiw taking a food tasting or wine tasting or coffee tasting class is fun; can pick up taste descriptor words: https://winefolly.com/tips/what-is-wine-body-and-how-to-taste-it/
vegan or lactose intolerant
I think almond is closest - but that’s shit for the environment, so oat it is
Almond milk tastes like dirt.
Soy milk has actual soybeans in it though and therefore better nutritional value in most cases.
I already get enough soy nutrients because tofu is delicious
It is indeed
Rice milk not an option?
Literally a waste of time.It’s almond juice. There’s only one kind of milk, and that’s moo cow fuck milk.
Gatekeeping milk. Okay, if you think that’s worth the effort
He’s just making a lewis black standup comedy reference
Clearly humor is dead on Lemmy
Nah, the joke just comes off as gatekeeping in this context
Gatekeeping… Milk?
Please go outside. That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve heard in years to be overly sensitive about.
Cow titty juice. You can call anything anything. If enough people say it then it’s correct. It’s like how the word ‘literally’ gained an extra definition of ‘not literally’. Unless you are speaking France French, then the government decides or something.
There’s also literally every other mammal with the possible exception of platypi. Nobody knows what the fuck is up with those freaks and anyone who claims otherwise is a liar, high or a high liar.
They have milk. They just sweat it instead. I learned about it in a documentary about what two kids are doing during their 104 days of summer vacation.
They…sweat milk?? 😩
hey now, there’s also goat milk among others.
They are always out of Oat Milk because it’s the G.O.A.T. Milk.
I once had a roommate from India who saw “got milk?” on a carton, and thought it was goat milk.
That’s actually pretty confusing if you haven’t seen the commercials.
Nothing really compares to real milk though.
How come you’re saying “real milk” when you mean “breast milk”?
hard disagree my dude but it’s ok we can dunk our biccies in whatever we like

Eh, I outgrew human milk at a pretty young age actually.
Have you tried it since?
They won’t sell it to me when I asked :(
I do like the packaging though.
Whole milk for my kefir please.
You dropped this:
.
Messy Turks!
I just want milk that tastes like real milk.
This tastes like real milk, and only 2% fat.
Looks significantly at your stomachSoy milk is the only non-dairy milk I’ve tried that comes close. It’s not 1:1 but it’s good enough to be used with cereal and not be super weird at least. And the vanilla flavored one isn’t bad as just a drink.
This is interesting to me. I attracted a number of downvotes too when I said I like soy milk. Maybe this is one of those things like pineapple on pizza that’s very polarizing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s not even like I go out of my way for it. It was available. I tried it. I found it pretty good. I still get whole milk for myself, but if I had to take a non-dairy option, it would be soy.
Soy has always been my favorite. I mostly drink plant milks on cereal, and I feel like it works better flavor-wise and has the creamiest texture, but ultimately different people have different tastes.
I’ve never tried a variety that tasted bad at all – oat, flax, cashew, rice, hemp, whatever – they all taste good to me.
There are a strange group of people who look down on others for eating soy because they think it contains enough estrogen to make you trans or something.
Oh yeah. I didn’t think there’d be many of them here though, but I never really understood that in the first place!
There are a number of federated instances that have no join requirements. People can just join them without an admin approval. So they join and lurk for a few weeks downvoting things they don’t like and then they go on a spam spree posting racist or violent content, before swiftly being banned.
I don’t get how they’re so good at milking those little oat teats.
It fascinates me how they are getting almond milk.
Poor almond cows.
Almooooo
Shut up Almeera you fat cow. Now let me squeeze your almonds.
“that’s a lot of choices”
Stfu and pick one. You sitting there having a casual conversation on your couch. Meanwhile the driver just standing there in the milk aisle staring at their phone for 5 minutes while you want to know all the options and hem and haw.
Yeah. But, I always try to be polite and treat delivery workers politely as possible. People are so rude that even “good morning. How are you doing?” Is stuff that none ask them.
Even the supermarket pickers don’t bother. They just grab whatever is a white liquid and at hand.
There’s like a 20% chance you’re getting PVA glue.
It’s probably at a cafe or something
90% chance the entire conversation was made up for the meme.
Having someone else stand in line for your fast food is so incredibly absurd I still can’t get my head around it
Whilst this only applies to a minority of people who use these services, if you’re disabled, having someone else stand in line for you is a godsend.

I remember when fast food was actually fast…
If the Dasher is standing in line at Starbucks waiting for an answer that makes it 10x worse lol
That is very likely what is happening
Possibly does not equal very likely
Well considering most people don’t use DoorDash for groceries…
Says who… I delivered for doordash for a while in a medium-ish sized US city and lots of people did exactly that.
You don’t see it as often as you see fast food because groceries were added later than restaurants. People think of it as “eating out with even less effort”
Almond milk tastes good too… Soy milk (when unflavored) I don’t like much at all. I’ll take any in Vanilla or Chocolate flavours tho.
I only drink Cow milk of all the options bc it’s cheapest per Litre.
Someone who ordered oat milk to begin with shouldnt have any troubles navigating the world of milk.
Eh. Oat milk is really popular for some reason. It could very likely be the only other milk they know. If someone was drinking rice or soy milk though then yeah I don’t know how they wouldn’t be familiar.
I tried soy milk before I tried oat milk because soy was the only cruelty free milk I knew about. But I eventually tried all the varieties and determined that oat milk tastes the best.
removed by mod
Oat milk tastes like oats. Which is good if you want to taste oats, and bad if you want to taste anything else.
Another one I like is coconut + rice. It’s more like a milky drink than milk, but it’s tasty.
Soy milk is great, but it’s not a good milk substitute.
It should taste beany, and that’s not really what I want with my cereal. A Chinese cruller, on the other hand…
I’ve only had soy milk so I guess I am just blind to the world of plant milks
Is that a free-to-play game like World of Tanks!?
No, subscription based, like World of Warcraft.
I only see two options: almond milk and breast milk
Leave the Activision-Blizzard break room and go to a store. Might have better luck
Oh no…in there they have nut milk but not almond… It’s another kind of nut.
bold for you to assume they have a job

Imagine your job being to shop for richer people and have to write them because of something like that. What a time to be alive.
DoorDash is a scam and should be shut down
What did I miss?
DoorDash were listing restaurants without their permission on the app. So a bunch of restaurants would either get orders they couldn’t fulfill, or DoorDash would just tell customers not to order there because they were unavailable, despite not being given permission to list them in the first place.
DoorDash is a brutally scummy company. Genuinely one of the worst service economy companies going around.
I think Uber that exploits their workers about the same, while also racing to get autonomous driving available no matter how many accidents happen to be quite a bit scummier.
It’s the same problem as all the other ride share companies. They don’t pay their drivers enough and they massively over charge customers. Drivers get no benefits and have to use their own cars while DoorDash makes a fortune. It’s disgusting greed and it doesn’t help restaurants either
Over charge how?
I know a few things could be pennies more expensive on the items in store. They often lack deals found on Native apps.
it’s usually cheaper to buy on doordash here than from the restaurants own app. I did get 3 years free DoorDash plus or what ever from Amazon Prime though, I likely won’t renew the subscription.
The only rip off is suggesting a 5 dollar tip on a 20 dollar order. Always tip $0.
Bruh you’re fuckin trolling
No.
The prices for Pizza Delight are the same on thier app and on Door Dash.
Pizza Delight has a 7.99 delivery fee here.
Door Dash has no delivery fee but a Service charge of 2.5%.
Door dash is the clear winner.
The only place I seen with larger mark ups on in store items is Loblaws. That’s what the frequent 50% and 25% coupons are for though.
You’re just a troll lying online to defend an extremely exploitative company
it’s usually cheaper to buy on doordash here than from the restaurants own app.
What the hell kind of bizarre place do you live in?
Newfoundland where restaurants want to charge a 7 dollar delivery fee for a 5 minute drive.
They do that elsewhere as well.
The problem is that apps like Doordash also increase the price of each item individually. So if you order from the restaurant itself, the sandwich might be $10 and fries might be $3. But if you order from Doordash, the sandwich will be $12 and the fries will be $4, then they have delivery fees, AND have all of these other extra mystery fees and then paying the delivery driver on top of that.
Yea, but it helps me eat a cheesy gordita crunch when I’m drunk at 1am
