Chocolate Oatmilk
Clicked straight through to the chocolate page, huh? Perfect. If you’re going to try oatmilk, this is a nice one to start with. It’s creamy and rich and basically worthy of all the marketing adjectives you want in a description of a chocolate milk, only add ‘dairy-free’ to the list since it skips the cow altogether, and opts for amazing gluten-free oats instead. This one thoughtfully travels in a shelf-stable package that keeps its chocolatey contents fresh for up to a year, so you can store it in your cupboard, ready to be deployed in case of any chocolate emergencies—which actually occur way more often than you might think. So yeah, this product makes a great entry point into a new plant-based product category. Also it’s CHOC-O-LATE!

What’s Amazing
It’s everyone’s favorite! This is one of those products marketing people love because they get to say things like, “It’s everyone’s favorite!” But let’s just say lactose intolerants, lactose lovers, omnivores, vegans, weekend vegans and normally-not-vegan-but-sometimes-flexi-veggie-person-tarians — all fans, in case you were wondering. This is a tasty chocolate treat with no dairy, no nuts, no gluten, no whatever. And it has wonderful beta-glucans (big, scientific word for soluble fiber) so you can pretty much guzzle the stuff all afternoon. That’s why we put it in an easy-to-grab 32-ounce container.
what might be less amazing
If you check the ingredients list you’ll find we have added some sugar to this product. We’ve also added natural flavors for the simple reason that they make this product taste great.
