(yes, it even uses less water in water-scarce places)
Oat milk is the goat 👌
oat milk is the best I’ve ever had, it’s the only one someone has given me and i didn’t immediately identify it as not real milk
It’s generally assumed that oat milk will easily become cheaper than cow milk when mass production takes off. It requires fewer resources (no cows consuming energy) and the process is easy to automate.
But yeah, for now, lactose-intolerant and vegan folks need to pay high prices to kickstart that…
That surprises me, since I’m told (a large part of) India deems cows holy and over here, the cheapest milk is from cows kept under inhumane conditions…
To make them cheap, make it yourself.
Making oat milk is a really simple process & to make it more like commercially available products, you can add various other ingredients such as xanthan gum to bind it as well as various things for flavour such as a small amount of cinnamon.
It’s literally putting stuff in a blender and then straining. with your reasoning, why even bother baking or cooking?
Nobody has the time to do that.
Plant milks need to become way cheaper than currently 5x the cost for me in India.
So you have 3 choices there:
- Examine your time management as you will have time that youre actually just procrastinating or pursuing bullshit that doesnt really matter as much as you think. (Dont lie - Very few people actually dont).
It takes 10 minutes to make a batch. Less time than will take you to walk to a shop (see here for a simple recipe/process: https://minimalistbaker.com/make-oat-milk/ )
-
Pay 5x the cost for plant based products - is your time really worth that much in exchange for the convenience?
-
Keep drinking disgusting cows milk.
