As someone who's lactose intolerant and always on the lookout for dairy alternatives, I was excited to try this oat milk powder. The 850g tin is surprisingly generous - it lasted me nearly 6 months with occasional use!

The powder mixes easily with warm water, creating a creamy liquid that works great as a coffee creamer. I love keeping this in my pantry for those mornings when I run out of fresh plant milk. It's shelf-stable and doesn't require refrigeration until mixed - perfect for emergency stocks or camping trips.

However, there are some quirks. The texture can be tricky - if you follow the package instructions exactly, the result is thinner than I'd like. I found using about 1.5 times the recommended powder gives a richer consistency. Also, it does tend to settle at the bottom if left standing, so give your drink a quick stir before sipping.

While some reviewers didn't enjoy the taste, I found it pleasantly sweet and oaty - though admittedly different from fresh oat milk. It's become my go-to for baking (makes amazing pancakes!) and as a mayo substitute in dressings.

The soy protein content might be an issue for some (it contains soy lecithin), but if that's not a concern for you, this is a convenient, versatile product worth trying - just manage your expectations about texture.
