Pacific Foods Organic Reduced Sugar Oat Original Plant-Based Beverage, 32 oz (Pack of 12)

great taste, organic, good ingredients.

sludge. I can cook with it great but not for coffee. It is also a lot sweeter than other oatmilks

I personally don't really mind most plant based mammalian lactate alternatives, but I do think this brand tastes a little better and feels a little creamier than other oat milks. More importantly, this is by far the favorite brand (not just of oat milk but of ANY plant based milk) of my pickier five year old. It won't win a "most like cow lactate" contest but the taste, texture/consistency, and sweetness are very good and it's even okay for steaming/foaming (not as good as most of the specific "barista blends" but better than most other options). Anyway, eventually it became obvious that there was no point in regularly getting individual boxes when I could get a whole case at a time.

First, let me state that I am retired, so this is an unbiased opinion. Second, I am highly interested in nutrition and although I don't have an official degree, I have done a lot of research over the last thirty years on nutrition.This is by far the best brand of oat milk available, notable for its taste and texture.I especially love it as a hot beverage, both as hot chocolate and plain. Its mild sweet flavor (note, this is naturally sweet from the oats, it does not contain any added sugar) means I don't have to add sugar. I just use powdered cocoa, two dashes of salt, and the hot oat milk, for a rich, slightly sweet, chocolate taste. I also use this oat milk in recipes - in meatloaf for moisture, in gravy, and in baking.The best feature of this brand is its texture. Other oat milks are watery due to separation and even if you shake them vigorously, just don't have the smoothness and thicker texture of Pacific's brand. This is closer to real milk in thickness than other brands, which means it works better as a milk substitute in every recipe I've tried.Plus, check out the ingredients. This milk substitute has minimal ingredients, so it is much healthier for everyone and safer for those with food sensitivities.Pacific Foods was bought by the Campbell Soup Company. Let's all hope that Campbell doesn't change anything in its formulation. It's perfect as is!Notes added 10-15-20:The new nutrition labels are confusing. The 17 g of "added sugar" are not added sugar in my mind, since NO form of sugar (cane, fructose, dextrose, honey, maple syrup, agave) was added. Read the list of ingredients. The "added sugar" is the sugar found in the oats. My version of the oat milk product has only water, oats, oat bran, gellan gum, sea salt, tricalcium phosphate, and vitamin D as ingredients.But note that there are several versions of the oat milk, as well as other alternative milks. You can get an organic version, a regular version, and I just saw a reduced-sugar version of oat milk. You just have to read the labels and the ingredients lists carefully. I am specifically reviewing the organic original version. Hopefully this version hasn't been changed since the last time I bought a case of it.

This is by far my least favorite oat milk. It is overpoweringly sweet with a thick and grainy texture. My favorite brand is the Costco brand (Krogers) followed by Oatsome which is also sold here on Amazon…Both have good flavor, not overly sweet but not completely bland. I won’t buy the Pacific brand again.

I like the taste of oat milk, using it for a milk-substitute in recipes and in my coffee every morning. This brand has had consistent quality and good flavor. The expiration dates on a case might only be several months out, so if you think a case will last you a year, I'd be careful about buying in bulk.

Very good taste and price!

I use Oatmilk for iced coffee and hot coffee creamer. I don’t mind is a creamer is in the watery side. This isn’t watery, but completely doesn’t emulsify with the drink no matter how you are using it. It separates and sinks to the bottom and the rest of the drink floats to the top (coffee, green tea, black tea, hibiscus tea etc). If it would emulsify I would be happy with it. The taste is delicious. It also curdles when added to hot liquids like hot coffee. This is a huge reason I will not be purchasing more of this product and why I give it such a low rating. I will use the rest of this oatmilk to bake and cook with ONLY.
