(yes, it even uses less water in water-scarce places)

    I’d happily switch to a non-dairy alternative, but finding a plant-milk that has the right mouthfeel seems to be an uphill challenge.

      If you’re into chocolate milk, I’ve found pre-mixed chocolate oat milk to have a really nice mouthfeel (IMHO better than cow milk). Obviously, your mileage might vary, though, depending on the brand…

      I haven’t personally tried these, but there are some plant milks that try to be closer to dairy out there like NotMilk, NextMilk, WonderMilk, etc. I’ve also read that peamilk is generally pretty close to dairy

        i’ve tried them - but honestly after such a long time with out dairy they seemed a bit to greasy for me personally. But if you are into the taste they might be a very good alternative to ordinary plant milks!

      So I don’t think it was the intended purpose, but I recommend trying barista styles. I was the same, I found the nondairy alternatives too watery, like skimmed milk. However getting ones that call themselves barista style fixes that, the viscosity is closer to real milk. Personally I go for Oatly, you can probably guess what it uses. Will vary based on location of course.

      I tried a bunch, I don’t like any of them and on top of that they are more expensive. So I’d have to pay more to enjoy it less.
