I am not a vegan but oat milk lattes are the best lattes. They are creamy, rich with flavor that's perfectly aligned w the coffee, lower in calories & more sustainable than classic dairy.
Everyone should try them once at least.
This is the real answer. The french aren't the pretentious ones in this story, they're the plebs who don't know any better haha
(All in good fun)
No, they just have way better milk than us
I just made a smoothie with a frozen berry blend I got from Costco. Yep, I used oatmilk
I don't think this story/tweet is real. Or maybe just the misunderstanding that the restaurant didn't have oat milk on hand.
Totally agreed that oat milk superior flavor for many different applications. Milk from a tiyty just ain't it for smoothies and stuff. I don't make any smoothies with animal milk.
I like oatmilk in general. Oatmilkshakes are also awesome and oatmilk is way better in cereal
Too many people tried soy milk or almond milk and it has unfortunately turned them away from dairy alternatives. Oatmilk leagues above all the rest.
I also didn't like soy milk at first now I have it with cereal almost daily, so I guess it's also getting used to the flavour.
Soy milk slays on protein though. If that's important to you.
I must keeping getting crap oatmilk. I always feel like it's watery, and I shake it before pouring.
I also drink whole milk, and think anything under 2% might as well be water. Unless it's a chocolate milk full of thickeners instead of just milk and chocolate.
I also get plain, because I don't want added sugar.
Suggestions?
Oaty brand oat milk.
They have some kind of special ingredient that keeps everything properly emulsified.
Warning it's not cheap. I maybe buy a carton a week.
Forager Project has a nice oatmilk. I like it better than Oatly.
Oatly barista in the grey cartons is hands down the best IMO after trying loads of other brands. I get it at publix in the US or Tesco in the UK
.
But Oatly has shitty additives
You have to go for the stuff with added fat - barista style - to get anything approaching decent.
Yes! The moment I tried oatmilk I realized the nuttiness of the oat compliments the coffee bean aromas making it the superior milk for espresso drinks
not everyone wants that.
The barista stuff isn't that much lower in calories than dairy milk. The rest is true though: delicious, sustainable, microfoam-able.
