To ask which dairy-free milk is nicest in coffee?

[Onynx]

Hoping for some serious inspiration🙈 I have been told I am intolerant to dairy and need to go cold turkey on all dairy products. I've managed 3 days so far but I really struggle with black coffee - and I looove my coffee. Could anybody suggest an alternative to cows milk to put in coffee please? 🤞🏻☕️

Oatly barista for hot drinks.
Coconut milk for porridge.

Oatly barista or soya professional from Amazon would be my 2 favourites. Coconut milk is lovely if you're doing an iced coffee.

I loved Oatly until I realised it had gluten 8n it. Now I'm fully cashew obsessed (can't have soya for hormonal reasons)

I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet so I'm going to recommend... Oatly Barista
Oatly cream and crème fraîche are good too.

Almond Dream and Alpro Hazelnut Chocolate are the best dairy-free ice creams (I've tried a few )

Nush almond milk yoghurts are lovely. Nush also do cream cheese.

I haven't found dairy-free cheese or milk chocolate that I like, but DF cake is easy, just use DF margarine instead of butter.

I'm back!! And I am so happy! Who do I hug??? The Oatly Barista is fab, lovely and creamy but not too creamy. No nasty aftertaste. I haven't tried frothing it yet but I'm going to stock up! Now if I could just find a decent cheese substitute.....

Are you lactose intolerant? Apparently some lactose-free cheese isn't too bad. Dairy-free cheese is, though!

Oatly Barista was my go to but it is nearly impossible to get hold of.

However they now have a fresh version in 'skimmed' and 'semi' and 'full fat'. I've tried all of them and they work just as well as the Barista version but not hard to get hold of. I use the skinny one as I was putting on weight with the Barista and 'full fat' fresh versions. It is delicious!

I get Oatly Barista from Ocado, you can also find it in big Tescos and health food shops.

Oatmilk is yum.

So glad you found oatly barista, it is wonderful!

As a gluten free idiot who didn't realise it wasn't, I'm back to square one.

Hurrah, great update OP - enjoy your dairy free hot beverages

I love oatley barista in my tea. Alpro do an oatley professional one which is good but I've never seen it in shops only where I work who get it from a catering company. I currently have alpro oat milk (normal one) which is also nice but not as nice.
I will have almond or soya in my tea too but I admit it's not as nice as oatley barista tho I can get a carton for £1 instead of the £1.80 oatley barista costs me 😭

Koko brand coconut milk is delicious in coffee (the normal version not the unsweetened or super milk version).

Oh I've heard that Asda oat milk is almost as good as Oatly Barista and significantly cheaper.

Yay! Came on to say Oatly Barista, glad I was a) beaten to it and b) that you liked it

We’ve not had too many problems getting it - always stocked in our local Tesco in the long life bit. I try to stick up when it’s on offer.

I'm confused now, so many suggestions. I would like to go lower carb and enjoy the odd latte when on Slimming World, so looking for an alternative to cows milk from that perspective.

However. I have galloping IBS, and a handful of cashews certainly sends me rushing for the throne so I daren't try cashew milk. Coconut milk had a similar effect.

Since we're on the topic, has anyone following a low fodmap, anti-IBS diet had any luck with dairy alternatives?

Unsweetened soy

Just to say Innocent Hazelnut milk is divine in coffee! (You do have to give it a stir if you leave it to sit for a bit)

Another dairy drinker who genuinely enjoys oat milk in lattes

Provitamil oat milk is amazing! If I can't get it for any reason then I use Oatly barista, they are very similar, both very creamy with no curdling.

I'm not vegan or dairy-free but I would never go back to milk in my coffee after trying these, they taste so much better!

Oh, and Asda often have Provitamil on 3 for £3 in Asda, so it's good for stocking up.
