Review of sorts. It's really nice. It makes a fresher cup of tea, we've not tried it in coffee yet. It apparently can be used as a creamer but we need to take some to work and get a colleague to try that. We're swapping over!

The powder is super-fine and because the bottle has simple marking (200ml 1 scoop, 400ml 2 scoops, 600ml 3 scoops) on it makes it simple to know how much to put in. The powder mixes super easily; 3 scoops into 300ml of water, shake, add 300ml more and shake again. Done.

The colour is lighter than typical Oat milk, it's a “fresher” feel to it. It tastes nice, there's no chicory flavour (though chicory root fibre is an ingredient) if that changes things for folk too.

This is what the pouch looks like.

We very quickly decided to shift over from Glebe Farms oat milk which we've previously enjoyed as it was more local than the likes of Oatly and Alpro (who are additionally owned by venture capital or massive multi-national corporations). The waste we'll produce is now super minimal compared to the equivalent tetra-pak waste, which although recyclable (probably downcyclable) creates a lot of cartons. When each pouch gets 8 litres of oat milk the difference to 8 x 1L tetra-pak is easy to see. I think making oat-milk at home is the only less wasteful way of doing things, which we've struggled with.

The price difference works in favour of the powder, just. Even if it becomes more similar, we've decided to stick with the pouch because of packaging waste reasons.
