coconut milk
- Very smooth and satisfying
- <=1 g natural sugars so basically carb-free
- amazing replacement for milk in cereal and smoothies
I like soy milk. I don’t know why people freak out about it.
I liked the smell of it in my shaving cream but yet to formally try it in the mouth hole
Hemp milk
Where can this be sourced decently?
We rotate between Almond and Coconut. Almond for stuff where the milk needs to be more neutral tasting. Coconut if we want a more creamy texture. We used to also like Oat (least wasteful on water during production vs almond), but it’s high in carbs so we avoid it now. Also, we actually use 0% fat lactose-free milk as well for coffee because it just tastes better than the alternatives for coffee.
If you can ever find it, try the Vita-Coco original no sugar added 1L carton that has around 5g of carbs, its really incredible super coconut milk that beats all for cereal. Its a little pricier but its amazing stuff.
In order: Soy, Coconut, Almond, Macadamia.
Almond uses way too much water to be environmentally sustainable, and macadamia just has a weird after-taste that I don’t like.
Soy has a bit of a bad reputation (unfairly so, due to bad ‘bro science’); but I quite like the taste and it has a pretty low emissions/water footprint comparatively.
Just tried a swig of the soy i bought today. Actually…quite nice,creamy. We shall see if i like it in the morning.
A little phleghmy tho in your mouth after
I found almond milk to be a great substitute a couple of years ago when I was dieting. Particularly the ‘unsweetened, vanilla’ variety from Almond Breeze.
As an added bonus, it also has a much longer shelf life than regular milk.
I can’t stand the sugary versions of any of them, unsweetened with/without vanilla is all the flavor needed haha
Mountain Dew
I always felt like it tasted like already flat soda
