Nokra Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I recently was told that my cholesterol was a bit high, though not to the point of needing medication. Looking into it a bit more, I learned that one factor contributing towards high cholesterol can often be full-fat dairy, such as the half and half I was putting in my daily coffee or the whole milk I was using on cereal. So I switched to oat milk and I found that I quite like it. In particular, the Kirkland Signature oat milk from Costco is pretty good, IMO. Anyway... what alternatives do you all like, if any?

Keyser_Soze Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I get oat, well I used to. I don't get any milk anymore but maybe I will again because cereal prices came back down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I can't do oats on a sustained basis. Flares my UC. At home I have lactose-free milk, oot and aboot I'll take soy or almond, but barring that or a huge upcharge for non-dairy generally I'll just take regular milk and a lactase pill.

Bacon Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I've had Soy and I believe Oat. I did not care for either in the slightest. It's too thin and does not taste creamy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 We tend to buy Barista Oat milk, though I still use semi-skimmed milk for tea and cereal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I don’t really guzzle milk, but I use whole milk in my cereal and such. I’ve tried almond and coconut milk and while they’re fine, they just can’t replace dairy for me. I do take the lowest dose statin for cholesterol, but it’s kept my numbers well within normal for years. It’s not something I worry much about.

TheLeon Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk for coffee and smoothies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I love almond milk but it is obscenely disastrous for the environment so I generally don't use it. Generally I'll use oat or coconut depending on what I'm doing with it. Edit: to be fair, almond milk is not as bad for the environment as dairy farming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Almond milk is my favorite alternative but I understand the water demand for it is quite extreme, so I can do oat milk. However, I will say I primarily drink cow's milk. I don't drink a lot of it, I just enjoy it with like a sweet (cookie or what have you). I also use it for my lattes.

best3444 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I drink two 12oz glasses of whole milk just for breakfast. Then more throughout the day. I'm litteraly turning into a cow. 🐄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I use whole milk in my cereal and oatmeal. Only time I drink it is if I mix in some Hershey's syrup or Nestle Quik strawberry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erehwon Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Since I have to avoid nuts, I go with Oatmilk. Breyer's has an oatmilk vanilla ice cream which is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I have a son with dairy, nut and egg allergies. So, we have a lot of Soy in the house. I, personally, can’t stand the stuff. Oat milk has a good flavour, but almost zero creaminess. So it’s only dairy for me. While I have cream in my coffee, I only really use milk in cooking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Hershey's syrup doesn't make good chocolate milk at all. I drink this chocolate milk that is from a fresh local dairy and its hands down the best chocolate milk I've ever drank.

stepee Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I hate real milk as a drink and as a creamer but I do enjoy me some Oatmilk or Almondmilk in my coffee from time to time, though I usually just go black. But if I’m doing a special treat sugar something coffee drink it’s going to have one of those two in it. Other exception is I’ll get soy milk but only in an iced chai tea latte. That drink just tastes better with soy, but otherwise I don’t like that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree that the flavor itself is good. I prefer creamier and thicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
