Hi! I'm Michelle, and I'm lactose intolerant.

• Lactose Free Milk That Tastes Like Milk

Dairy-free does include milk-free, lactose-free, casein-free and whey-free, too! We also offer ample resources for gluten-free, soy-free, food allergy, vegan and paleo diets. Please note that ingredients, processes and products are subject to change by a manufacturer at any time. Like soy milk, nut milks are high in protein and useful for baking. You may find their taste blends in with baked goods, coffee, or nutty cereals better than soy milk, although personal tastes vary. Like soy milk, some people do find them grainy.

Thankfully, there are a ton of dairy-free options popping up in the US these days, especially in the milk aisle.

There really isn't anything that actually tastes like dairy, so if you LOVE milk (like me) you probably won't be as satisfied with a non-dairy milk. If you are looking for certain milk-like qualities, there are some good products but flavor and texture vary greatly by brand.

I rounded up four of the most popular alternatives — oat milk, banana milk, pea milk, and (for reference) soy milk — and put them to a taste test.

To help taste test the options, I also enlisted the help of both a die-hard dairy lover (Marie) and a vegan (Rachel).

I wanted to see if the three of us — with our different dietary styles — could all agree on a ~universally tasty~ milk. We tasted all of the milks both on their own, and mixed into our drinks of choice (either tea or coffee.)

We started off with soy milk, which we had all forgotten was so creamy and delicious.

Michelle (lactose intolerant): I love soy milk because it's creamy and smoothie-like. It's a real pity that it makes my stomach churn and bloat just like dairy milk does, so I can't have too much of it.

Rachel (vegan): This one is one of the creamiest of all plant-based milks, IMO. The reason I don’t drink soy milk is because I already have a lot of soy in my diet, and I don't know if I want too much more. But I LOVE it, especially in shakes.

Marie (dairy lover): It's creamy, thick, and sweet — and it reminds me of this French medication for stomach ache, but in the best way.

We then moved on to banana milk, which sounds like a fun kids' beverage, but honestly wasn't sweet enough and tasted watered down. 💧

Michelle: It’s bland and tastes like an off-brand health drink. I do think it might be interesting to use as a base in a protein shake though, since it's slightly thicker than water.

Rachel: The color is really unappetizing and it's kind of too watery. When I put it in my tea, it just tastes like I added water, and nothing more.

Marie: I was expecting some kind of banana milkshake flavor, but this tastes like a watered down unripe banana peel. It's also weird because it makes my tea smell but not taste like bananas, which is something I don't want.

Pea milk had a nice, creamy consistency, but most of us weren't a fan of the flavor.

Michelle: I don't hate this one! It's creamy and kind of tastes like almond milk, but with a different aftertaste. It's actually perfect in my coffee, since the bitter coffee masks the pea flavor, but highlights this milk's smooth texture.

Rachel: I’ve heard good things about pea milk. It’s kind of velvety but the flavor is really off. I would say if they could change the flavor, the consistency is great and likable.

Marie: It tastes like split pea soup, but without all the good parts of the soup. This one’s a no, I'm sorry.

Then we moved on to oat milk. Spoiler: It was our favorite!

Michelle: So yeah, I am officially oat milk's #1 fan. This stuff is creamy, tasty AF (the 7 grams of sugar per cup probably help), and blends PERFECTLY with coffee. It makes me want to guzzle down my afternoon cup of bean water in an instant, which TBH is probably a little dangerous. Also, since this stuff is slightly sweet, I don't feel the need to add extra sugar to my cup.

Rachel: The texture is awesome and way creamier than what I thought it was going to be. The flavor is bold but personally, I'm not in love with the aftertaste — it's almost a little too sweet.

Marie: it tastes like what you have at the end of a cereal bowl when you’re done with cereal, but slightly less sweet. Honestly, this is kind of better than cow's milk? I have a hard time believing there’s no dairy in this.

TL;DR: Super creamy, objectively tasty, and paired well with coffee and tea, ~oat milk~ was the winner here. The other options had their own pros too, and are worth a try of your own!
