Oatly Oat Milk: In veganism, milk is a no-go. Thus, people came up with almond milk and soy milk, which are plant-based. However, both of these are bad for the environment. So oat milk is the next vegan-friendly dairy alternative, and it looks like it's going to be around for a while. It tastes good, has the same fluidity as cow milk, is silky and creamy.

• Most importantly, it is much better for the environment, requiring much less water than almond milk. It also produces less greenhouse gases during production. Oatly is indeed one of the best brands for oat milk. It is approved by most baristas in the USA and recommended for everyone willing to switch to plant-based.
