Yes I have, I bought some in one of those cut price shops they don’t have near here when I was visiting someone in North Wales. Heron or B&M I think it was. It was actually really nice and I would buy it again if I could find it…especially at 39p a litre, and they also had some Qwrkee crips that were a bit like quavers as well.
what are you like! One of those little chortles you can’t hold back.
That’s insanely cheap, will be sure to check it out. I don’t use milk much so I’d like to find a brand I can buy smaller cartons from as I find that once I’ve opened a litre, it goes off before I can use it all. I only really use milk in coffees.
Ah, that’s not the market price alas. It’s gonna be around £2/litre the same as most similar spec plant milks.
It’s just those cheap shops I mentioned sometimes get weird and wonderful things. They usually have a plant milk of some description; they aren’t short dated but may be end of line, or changed formula or old packaging or just some they got hold of cheap. I’m not sure how it works, all I know is that you’ll go in one day and they have something useful, go in the next day and it will be gone never to appear again.
Alas not many plant milk companies sell less than 1 litre cartons. You can actually freeze plant milks, but yeah in hot weather like this (when I should be sat in a field at Glastonbury festival drinking Huel), it does go off quite quickly.
Might seem random, but have you ever tried MCT oil/powder in coffee? I got into it when I went through my short lived keto phase. MCT in coffee stuck though because it works quite well as a creamer.

i saw it y’day in sains
im gonna try it t’day
there was choc and banana &oat
mighty pea
nice pic @Phil_C
good camera?
that one was just my iPhone 
one benefit I’ve noticed with the Pea milk is that while it makes the Huel shake creamier, it doesn’t make it overly gloopy - like I’ve found almond milk can do pretty often.

I used to buy Oatly oat milk but after several years of spending £1.50 a Litre with the ingredients being 5% oats 95% water, I decided to start making my own with a blender and ordered a £2 ‘nut milk bag’. Now it costs me £2 for 1Kg of oats and that lasts a seriously long time when used only for making oatmilk

Never have, no! Cheers for the recommendation.

Homemade milks are indeed awesome if you’re only using them for putting into a brew, pouring on your cereal (or indeed adding to Huel!) Unfortunately about 70% of the milk I use goes into textured coffees and, without the additional ingredients in commercially produced products, this isn’t possible.
I’m not sure why but interestingly this isn’t the case with homemade almond milk - of course buying the almonds would cost more than I spend at the moment though!
Exactly. That is my primary use of oat milk
… Textured coffee…?
Textured milk: that which you would prepare for a cappuccino, latte, flat white, macchiato… .etc. etc.
never liked hot drinks that much…
cold water over tea anyday
Yeah if it’s for coffee it needs some oil in there in which case I throw in some almonds and blend them up with the oats. To give the coffee that creaminess you want from the milk.
Ah, good tip.
I did actually try another Barista oat milk this week. Moma. I think they started off making porridge. It was very nice.
MOMA is my second choice if there’s no Oatly Barista, it’s pretty much identical in hot drinks. I’m not a Minor Figures fan.
I presumed it was that but I’ve never heard it called textured before! Every day’s a school day. Thanks!

I think MF is OK, but I do prefer Oatly, and I think this one is just as good. I bought it in Sainsbury’s. At the same time I think the one I went to is going to delist Huel as there were no bottles, and the space had gone, and only a couple of bars that were on sale.
