While I simply cannot (and refuse) to give up my cheese, lactose simply doesn’t work for me, and I’ve been long searching for a non-dairy alternative that tastes somewhat tolerable but won’t cause gastrointestinal issues like regular cow’s milk does for me. Almond milk is a solid option, but when I add it to my coffee, the pulp adds a weird, grainy texture to my cup of joe, and I’m simply not down. Soy milk, on the other hand, tastes synthetically sweet to me, so that’s out of the question too. When oat milk hit the scene, I finally felt like my prayers had been answered.

Sure, it doesn’t taste as rich and creamy as the whole milk that I’ve loved for so long, and definitely has a distinctive flavor of its own, but it also tastes good—in its own unique way. Best of all, it doesn’t have a weird texture so it mixes in well in my smoothies and coffee, which is of chief importance to me. Nowadays, oat milk is one of the biggest non-dairy “trends,” and it’s easier to find than ever before. Unfortunately, as with most dairy alternatives, not all oat milk brands are created equal and some are much, much better tasting than others. If you’re looking to make the switch, look no further because we’ve rounded up some of the best oat milk brands to try for yourself.
