It might look like a fledgling brand, but Planet Oat Oatmilk is produced by HP Hood. They’re a $2 billion, 170-year old dairy, and one of the largest food and beverage companies in the U.S.
Like so many other dairy producers, HP Hood is jumping into the fast-growing, non-dairy market. But unlike many of their competitors, it looks like they’ve gotten it right the first time. Planet Oat Oatmilk is being met with rave reviews. It’s wonderfully creamy, performs well in coffee drinks, and seems to be beating out the other oatmilk brands with its naturally low-sugar taste.
We have more details below, and you can leave your own review and rating on this post after you try it. It helps others make an informed purchasing decision!
Planet Oat Oatmilk Brings Low-Sugar Taste to the Dairy-Free World
Aside from the dark chocolate, all of the Planet Oat Oatmilk varieties are made without any added sugars. And even the chocolate version is modest in sugar compared to most competitors. All of the flavors are fortified to rival dairy milk in vitamins and minerals. But it’s still modest in protein when compared to dairy.
They do use some thickeners and stabilizers to aid in the creamy finish, but unlike some oatmilk brands, this is an oil-free option.

What Others Are Saying ...
Extracreamy, extra yummy
Havent liked any non dairy options until this. Love the taste and the price is not too bad either.
Tastes Great
I prefer Planet Oat over all other milk drinks, including other oatmilk. The only other milk drink I like is refrigerated Rice Dream.
Best milk alternative
I have tried almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, soy milk and now oat milk. The extra creamy Plant Oat oat milk is by far the best!
I love it
I just bought the dark chocolate oat milk from Food lion today. And I absolutely love it . I’m going back tomorrow to get the original to eat with my milk
Amazing
I just bought the dark chocolate flavor and it is incredible. So much better than Silk Oat Yeah. It is very creamy, the chocolate flavor is pleasing, and it is not overly sweet. I absolutely love it.
excellent natural oat taste
Chocolate is delicious. Very low in sugar compared to others and nice premium tasting chocolate option.
Dark Chocolate is Delicious
I doubt that I ever would have tried this product if my grocery store was not running a special promotion. However, I did, and am pleased to report that it is absolutely delicious. It has a full, rich, wonderful dark chocolate flavor and a very creamy and satisfying mouth feel. I am surprised, however, that the calorie count shown above on this site (90 calories per cup) is much less than what is shown on my carton (140 calories per cup). I would love to try the other versions, but I think the price at which they are being sold is high.
Fantastic!
In my book, there’s no comparison between vanilla oat milk and vanilla unsweetened almond milk (yuck). Can only truly enjoy “sweetened” almond milk, so this is my go to milk now. Great for you and great for hydration.
Really Really Good!
Best tasting non dairy milk! The extra creamy is the best vegan coffee cream bar none
Good flavor, but too thin.
I usually buy Milked Cashews for my coffee and cereal, but my market stopped carrying it. After reading the label for Oat Milk I gave it a try. The label said “full bodied, rich, creamy” Well, not really true. I found the consistency about equal to water. I see on the site here there is am Extra Creamy version, perhaps that would be more to my taste, but I don’t think my store had that on the shelf. The flavor is really good, but I don’t care for the color much. Okay on cereal, but not at all what I would want in my coffee.
