Plant milks


Alpro Rice

four stars

This vegan rice milk is suitable for all purposes where a vegetarian might use animal milk. It works well on cereals and is relatively bland so there is no reason to dislike it and equally, none for it to stand out. My favourite rice milk nonetheless

Rice Dream Rice

three stars

This vegan rice milk is also suitable for all purposes. It works well on cereals and is relatively bland. It tends to have more residual solids than the Alpro which means it is second choice of rice drinks for me

Provamel Rice

one stars

This vegan rice milk has a slightly oily appearance, a slightly brown colour, and a strong vanilla flavour. Unless you like vanilla flavoured cornflakes first thing in the morning or cannot bear to drink water, it is hard to think of a use for this

Alpro Soya

two stars

This vegan soya milk is suitable for most purposes but has an unnecessarily brownish colour and a taste that would need to be acquired. I have made my own soya milk which always turns out better in appearance and flavour than this, albeit not fortified with vitamins and minerals

Soja unsweetened soya (Lidl)

no stars

This soya milk is remarkably cheap so I bought some to see what it was like. It smells quite pleasant, the appearance is a little murky, while the taste is disgusting. Having tried two sips, I poured the rest of the litre down the sink. I have no idea how it is possible to ruin what is essentially a mixture of some soaked soya beans and water

Alpro Oat

four stars

This vegan oat milk is suitable for most purposes and has that distinctive oatmeal flavour and a good colour. A very pleasant milk and the only oat milk I have tried to date. It is probably my second favourite after almond

Alpro Hazelnut

four stars

This vegan hazelnut milk is suitable for all purposes. It has a distinctive hazelnut flavour and is quite brown in colour yet works well on cereals and for drinking. A little cocoa to turn it into a chocolate hazelnut drink would work well too but I have yet to try that

Alpro Almond

five stars

This vegan almond milk is suitable for all purposes. It has a gentle roasted almond flavour and is of a good colour in colour. It works well on cereals or for drinking and is quite delicious. My favourite plant milk at this time

Alpro Cashew

three stars

This vegan cashew milk is suitable for most purposes. It is somewhat thicker than most plant milks but has a clean colour. It works well on cereals and is quite pleasant. It is an option for me and is probably among my top three milks
