Or someone who is vegan.
Or someone who just likes the taste of oat milk.
Personally I'm not vegan and I do drink dairy milk, but I also love oat milk and often order my coffee that way. It adds a kind of nutty taste which I really like. Would recommend trying it sometime.
Or someone who prefers products with a lower carbon footprint.
I got off of animal milk before I went vegan or even vegetarian. Plant milk is just superior in every way.
It lasts much longer in the refrigerator, for one thing. With cow milk, I had to keep reminding myself to drink it because it would go rancid in a few days.
You are actually supposed to discard it after like 10 days after opening
I've never tracked it, but I haven't ever had it go bad.
Cow milk always tastes a bit off so I'm never sure when it's really off.
We keep almond milk for drinks and cereal, powdered milk for cooking (because macaroni and cheese/some sauces just don't want almond milk).
(I'm not vegetarian, just low-meat enough that I have to compensate for a B12 deficiency. Jazz hands).
B12 is also artificially given into animal fodder. Look into enriched alternatives (ie alpro does alot) if thats the actual reasoning in the last statement.
enriched example
In countries corpos need to stick to give "nutritional value tables" for each animal, there u can see how much supplements are given. Which is done because its just cheaper for the short time they need to "grow". on that note quality standards for supplements via lab tests are non existent, which is even hard to get for human consumption already.
Its all a big fairy tale the lobby doesnt want you to be correctly educated on
Oh, no worries. I compensate with a B12 supplement. I just need the supplement because my diet doesn't otherwise contain enough B12. I'm low-meat because I want to reduce my environmental impact, cows are cute, pork violently disagrees with me, and I don't like chicken.
I'm all for alternative milks, but you'll know when the milk's really off. If it smells farmyard-y and a little sour, it's probably on its last day but it won't hurt you. When it's splitting, it's no good.
I only say this because I know way too many people who dump milk that's still got the best part of a week on it because it's got any sort of smell, and it's super wasteful.
I’m like this with soy. It tastes fancy. It’s the only milk I get when I get a coffee from somewhere. It’s not the same making my own tho so I use whole milk for that.
👋 Came for the veganism, staid for the taste. Esp. in coffee it's better than cow's milk imo. [I need to differentiate between oatmilk and barista oatmilk though. I don't much care for the latter.]
I'm not trying to be a dick, but it is stayed just fyi
What's barista oatmilk? I've seen it in the store, but I don't buy it because I drink my coffee black.
Additives to not curdle etc.
Afaik it's a slightly different mix of ingredients (more fat, or less fat or more sugar or something) that is supposed to be better for making froth.
It just has a higher fat content to help create a stable foam. Usually sunflower oil
Same here with plant milk in coffee. It gives you a ton of really yummy variety. I've accidentally had dairy milk put in my coffee, and every time I recognize it by how noticeably worse the coffee tastes.
Another one for me was nutritional yeast on popcorn. I mixed it into my usual popcorn seasoning, and popcorn legitimately isn't as good to me now without nooch.
Well I know a source of yummy nutty white liquid too.
Would you just go up to a stranger on the street and say that nonsense? And if you can, resist the jackass urge to just say "yes" and actually fucking consider the question honestly.
I'm sure they were just going to mention coconuts.
