Just got to add that Oatly is a great product. Unlike most other plant based substitute for milk, it isn't overly sweet.

- twobyfour 9y agoHow thick is it? Other plant "milks" I've tried (almond, rice, soy) seem to resemble skim milk in texture, and you have to get something labeled "creamer" to find a consistency that resembles 2%, let alone whole milk.
- troels 9y agoThe standard variant is pretty close to whole milk in taste/texture, although it has a slight "graininess" to it. It's definitely fuller than any rice or soy product I've tried.
- will_brown 9y agoA non-creamer plant based milk with a thicker texture is Califia Farms Toasted Coconut Almond Milk, highlights 0 grams of sugar, 50% more calcium than milk and 45 calories/cup.
- evincarofautumn 9y agoCoconut fat (milk) works well to bring up the thickness of almond milk. Makes it work significantly better in coffee.
- miffe 9y agoThere is a oatley version of Creme fraiche. So I guess they can make it as thick as they like.
- vanderZwan 9y agoThey actually have a special coffee-version that is fairly thick and less prone to coagulation (a common problem with dairy alternatives). It's actually one of the more popular ones I think, it's always sold out in my local supermarket.
- skrebbel 9y agoMaybe this differs per country, but most soy milks, almond milks, rice milks, etc sold here in the Netherlands are sweetened, making them taste like garbage in my opinion. However, at least both soy milk and almond milk is also readily available in an unsweetened variant. Look out for that, it tastes a lot better. I'm personally particularly fond of the unsweetened almond milk, nearly any brand really.
- charlesdm 9y agoI've found most almond milk to also be thickened. I make my own almond milk (super easy to do!) and it tastes way, way better.
- lobster_johnson 9y agoMilking the almonds is the most time-consuming part, but clearly worth it: https://youtu.be/Imue7RLNGos https://youtu.be/Imue7RLNGos
- earlyriser 9y agoI like Silk (Soy) Unsweetened version. I'm not a fan of other brands or plants for the same reason. But for coffee I use milk.
