>Their milk uses 74% less energy, 92% less water, and generates 74% less CO2 than regular milk.
Tastes 0% like milk
That's the weird part all of the reviews talk about how the mouthfeel is akin to milk, but it tastes like pineapple and coconut.
I don't know about you but I am not looking for that taste when eating cereal or making drinks with milk.
Might be great for pina colada. Just add vodka.
But what if you’re not into health food?
As long as you like champagne
Right? Do they have an option for us fat fucks that love extra mayo mixed into our fry sauce?

I have exclusively bought oat milk for the past few years and I no longer notice the difference. Especially with something like cereal that gets sweetened anyway.
Oat milk tastes better than cow milk, hands down.
I mean oak milk is great, but I'm having trouble understanding what you're saying. Are you just saying you've grown used to it after 5 years? That makes sense, but you are probably still capable of noticing the difference, you just haven't compared (since you exclusively drink it).
I've found oak milk to be great in certain places, like cereal, but it's definitely noticeable drinking it straight. And the problem with all milk replacements is the pricing of milk itself. 4L of milk costs $6 here, 1L costs $3. If I halve my milk consumption I still pay the same price. And so I get the 4L of milk and 2L of oat milk and end up throwing out 2L of something.
I can imagine that's true, although I haven't drank a glass of milk straight since I was a kid. I think milk substitutes are easier if you don't drink a lot of milk as it is. I go through a carton about once every 1-2 weeks, and only use it for cereal and smoothies.
Yeah definitely true, considering that's pretty much the only thing I want it for.
I'm curious what will come of this deal as I do use a lot of dairy, but I do dairy heavy dishes where both taste and texture are very noticeable. But I don't know if I'd notice if kraft dinner went plant based for their "cheese"
Damn I definitely disagree. I think it is all around the best milk replacement I’ve come across! In taste, texture and baking! It blew me away when I tried it
Can confirm. Chilean here (this “startup” is chilean), almost all their products taste like shit and are very costly. I wish this was the start of affordable, tasty, vegan food but rhis aint it. Not Co is a very overhyped company that is running on fumes now that all the free capital is over.
Maybe. Center dude in the pic looks pretty pumped like he's getting paid well. The two guys beside him look like equity based employees hoping the stock takes off when it IPOs lol
Edit: happy birthday! 🎂
Haha spot on. The dude in the middle is a trust fund kid who who started the company with his dad’s money. The guy in the right is the one who actually made the preducts. They pretty much forced him out right before the company went big. Good news is he now has a pretty decent job in our goverment.
Holy shit its my cake day i didnt notice. Thanks!
Go celebrate it in style like that douchebag in the center does! Hope it was good!

Doesn't that describe most of the meat alternative vegan products?
What I don't understand is why plant based alternatives need to approximate the taste at all.
If you're a vegan or vegetarian why would you want processed plants to approximate meat?
Animal treatment aside it seems like high quality vegan foods would be superior to processed meat alternatives.
Wouldn't a nice salad without meat and wide variety of veggies be superior to a salty processed mushroom and bean burger patty?
The real money is in the people who wouldn’t voluntarily eat a nice salad without meat.
I think that's more of an omnivore strategy right? Balancing diet sources and for variety of taste and texture.
Where animal diet has been readily available it usually becomes the predominant food source for cultures that don't suffer from poverty or malnutrition.
I guess you are right. My hate for this company because its quite overhyped for what it is and I feel there are hundreds over better companies doing pretty much the same.

you should actually try this one... most impressive fake milk i've ever had. Blew me away. I have a friend obsessed with finding the finest milk and even he liked it!
Whole foods sells their stuff.

Like what is the demand for this garbage...
100% Envirofascists. Eating steak while they make peasants eat mush and bugs
Neither does skim milk and yet people drink it
My wife drinks it. But she drinks all the other fake milks too.
Gross.
It comes as a dehydrated powder that needs to be mixed with milk.
