Best alternative to milk?
Discussion
I can't do cows milk, but only mildly so.
I'm fine with goats milk, and prefer that to the nutty varieties, but am ok almond when goat isn't available.
Lactofree tastes like something's been removed to me, a bit like alcohol free lager, you know it's not as it should be, but you know it will be fine.

My daughter has soya milk.
I ran out of normal milk and had it on my porridge, it tasted much nicer. I now have it too.
I prefer it, you need to try them all I think.
We use Sainsbury's or Tesco's unsweetened soy drink (milk substitute) and I infinitely prefer it in all previous milk applications. I have to confess to never really liking milk much though.I ran out of normal milk and had it on my porridge, it tasted much nicer. I now have it too.

That Lactofree stuff is the best non-milk we've had and it was nice being able to give the odd guilt-free slurp to the dog but the prices have almost doubled in the last year or so. We've gone back to organic semi-skimmed.
Aldis version tastes identical to me and is still 85p or so a carton (I feel obliged to cheapen the thread as your dog's missing out! 
) My partner prefers oat milk to the others, she can't drink milk as she's lactose intolerant.
Having had oat, soy, almond, etc nearly always in the fridge I do try it from time to time (mostly when I've run out). I don't like any of them in tea or on cereal but happy to have them as an ingredient in something like a bechemel sauce.
I find in something like tea I need loads of the 'milk alternative' to get the cup how I like it and then it's a bit cold.
I've found oat cream quite good in things like chocolate ganache as well.

I've tried pretty much all of them and find soya the best for general use.
It varies alot by brand though, the aldi unsweetened is difficult to drink, the alpro sweetened is fine.
For coffee etc alpro do a vanilla version which is great
I'd also only drink them cold, room temp they aren't great
I'd say the worst was oat, literally tastes like a porridge shandy

Oat milk for breakfast smoothies (various fruits, mug of oats, 600ml oatmilk, scoop of protein powder) and very nice with coffee too. I've also found that Oatly is the best oat milk by far.
Semi skimmed goat milk for tea (although I could and have just used goat milk for everything before).
