Non dairy white stuff alternatives to cow milk.

[throAU]

I am experimenting with plant based "milks", came across this article:

Almonds Are Out. Dairy Is a Disaster. So What Milk Should We Drink?

A glass of dairy milk produces almost three times more greenhouse gas than any plant-based milk. But vegan options have drawbacks of their own.

getpocket.com

I really love Hemp and Oat milks, but how the end product tastes vary quite a bit.

Soy and Almond are so so for me. I rather eat almond whole, anyway.

Not try Hazelnut.

Coconut water I have tried, but I do not think a milk product.

Rice milk was really disappointed in. I will not get again.


Thoughts from the peanut gallery?

Coconut milk - has MCT in it which is good for you, depending on what you're using it for also maybe coconut cream.
Maybe try almond and coconut, its a different flavour to almond.

I'm doing the Keto thing (Not plant based, but I need to cut carbs and normal milk has a lot) and have mostly eliminated milk but the "milk" I do consume is either of the above.


edit:
I'm not going to get involved in the vegan argument other than to say I'm not one and never will be

Read what you wrote as someone who doesn't live inside your head, and ask yourself what the subject of your post is. Is it almonds? Bees? Or the enormous chip on your shoulder.

Every time I've heard this discussed it's been Vegans talking about it. No one else cares, including me. I look forward to catastrophic colony collapse & all of you eating soylent green, just so I can wag my finger at you all and rest assured no one was smarter than me or made better choices, bc excusing my own BS to protect my ego is really what's important here.

You don’t care because you live in Milwaukee.

I (and many neighbors) care because it affects us. A gallon of water that goes to an almond orchard is a gallon of water that doesn’t go to another place is much of California.

Most of California’s populated regions gets their water from one source: the Sierra Nevada. Southern California is no longer the beneficiary of an abundant stream of water from the Rocky Mountains like the old days.

I get it. It doesn’t affect your water bill so you have zero sympathy. That is one damned self serving attitude but so be it.

This type of monoculture/large scale agriculture isn’t a responsible and sustainable use of resources.

Hell, I love beer and yet I realize brewing takes a lot of water.

But if I had to make a choice, I’d take beer 🍺 over milk 🍼

😁

There was a pretty basic article on abc news Australia today comparing milk alternatives

Soy, oat, almond, rice, coconut, dairy: Which 'milk' is best for your health?

A trip to the supermarket presents shoppers with an overwhelming number of milk choices. And far from just being the domain of the modern hipster, plant-based milk alternatives are going mainstream, writes Leah Dowling.

while I love beer, I don't really like it on my weetbix (breakfast cereal). soy milk is my favourite

... I look forward to catastrophic colony collapse & all of you eating soylent green ...

and we were talking about a portable white flavor beverage choice?

You don’t care because you live in Milwaukee. Ad hominem blah blah in California, milk blah

I'm from La Jolla. I've lived in 37 states, and I live 6 hours from Milwaukee in the Dairy state at the moment. Just like the original post I was responding to of yours, you tried to make your counterargument about the people you're arguing against as 1-dimensional cartoons, instead of the actual problem, and you got nowhere.

That a gallon of water could be used in any number of ways that would better suit anyones interests. Whoopdedo.

I live even further east in the desert. As such, I started paying attention to how much water it took for me to brew a batch of beer. I'd start with 7.5 gallons of water to get down to 5 gallons of wort, but use over 20 gallons of drinking water to cool it down enough to pitch yeast.

I've since switched to "no-chill" which means even in summer I allow the wort to naturally cool to ambient temperatures before moving inside prior to pitching yeast.

I'll do my gross cleaning in my back yard so the water and nutrients enrich my yard and garden, and then once my equipment is almost completely clean, I'll take it in the house for a quick rub-down with PBR.

We all have to chose where and when we abuse the environment we all share.

Oat Milk for me

This is very subjective but tried a lot of milk alternatives for our coffee (in lattes and capps) - tried oat milk, almond milk, soy milk and coconut milk and didn't like any of them.

We then came across macadamia milk (Milkadamia) at Costco (6 pack) and tried it, what a difference. It's by far our favourite but it's hard to find and outside Costco it's quite expensive.
