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 ...
Planet Oat Milk
I just bought the vanilla oat milk and it was delicious I will definitely recommend it I like it much better than soy milk personally.
Oat Milk is bomb.
I use this milk for my diabetic shake. I can drink this with or without cereal. In a cup by itself. It’s tastes better than almond milk. Because almond milk tastes like wood.
Tastes funny
I like the Silk Vanilla Almond Milk better. It has a funny taste!
not suitable for froth
I had hoped this could be my sugar free solution for froth. Sorry to report it doesn’t foam at all, not even in the Vitamix Aerdisc. I keep searching!
Oat Water not Oat Milk
I hate to give bad reviews and I usually research a product before purchasing, but I just ran to the store to grab a box of Raisin Bran and some Oat Milk and this was the only brand name that this particular store sold. So I really had no choice. As many have said compared to other brands it is very very watery. It’s not creamy and it’s too watery. I’m going to inquire tomorrow about getting my $4.00 back so I can go purchase a brand that I know that I like and would not go to waste. Do better. And just an FYI it is smaller than a half gallon.
Kaopectate
This is my first time buying this brand. I bought 3 flavors because they were on sale.
The worse flavor is the vanilla, it tastes like Kaopectate. I won’t ever buy again.
Super Watery
This is by far the worst oat milk I’ve ever had. I tried it a while ago and hated it in my coffee but figured I’d try it again with cereal and to make strawberry milk. I was once again disappointed. It’s very watered down. Oatly remains the best oat milk on the market.
Container Size
Has there been an explanation from Planet Oat why their container size is smaller than the competitors? Planet Oat’s container is 19% smaller than a half gallon. Be careful when you compare pricing against brands using a full half-gallon. Good product inside the container. Deceiving packaging.
Looks like dish water
I am sorry to report that it looks like dishwater. No matter how much shaking I did. The taste was ok, but I won’t buy it again.
Delicious
I’m hooked on the original.
Don’t forget to shake it each time you use it.
