Oatly Milk

Some time ago, I ran across a random blog entry that mentioned "Oatly milk," a beverage made from oats and water as another alternative to dairy milk. As I'd been having normal soya and black soya milk for quite some time, I was keen on trying something new. As expected, it tastes of oats, but the flavour is much lighter than the soybean taste in soya milk, so it's a much better dairy replacement in beverages. I find it quite soothing to have before bed. It's just as nice with cereal. And it's quite addicting with just a little added sugar (as it comes without sugar) and even hot cocoa.

Several years ago when soy yogurt had just come out, I had a fairly negative impression of how it tasted. I've always loved the Asian soy bean drink, so the soy flavour is quite familiar. But there was something strange. I can't quite recall. It might have been the unfamiliarity of soy + sourness + grainy texture. But about a month ago, I decided to give it another attempt seeing as it's been so long and the health food trend has improved significantly. Surprisingly, I found it quite tasty, especially the Provamel brand. Besides the slightly "lumpy" texture, the soy flavour is barely perceptible. It's also quite fruity. The other brand that was available--Sojade--wasn't quite as good. It was less fruity and sweet, but it still seemed to taste better than what I had remembered. Of course, my taste buds might have changed, but it's pretty incredible to know how fast alternative health foods are improving.
