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.

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.

Great product
Very good, fresh tasting flavor
Not Watery
I decided to try it when I saw Extra Creamy on the carton. All of the other dairy free is watery and I don’t want watery cereal. This one did get it right the first time. Great taste and great appearance. Now I buy nothing but Planet Oat oatmilk.
Really creamy & tasty
I was surprised and pleased with the taste and creamy addition this was for my shakes and smoothies. I will definitely buy this again and again to replace some of my almond milk additions. This was my first time to have Planet Oat oat milk. I have not tried it in my coffee but as soon as I buy some more, I will.
Excellent Alternative
I’ve been enjoying Planet Oat Oatmilk (no sugar) for months now. I enjoy the creamy consistency and it’s a great substitute for cream in my coffee. I never have to add any sweetener to my coffee.
$2 special trial (Chocolate lover)
Makes a fantastic dark choc Malt (added a half Tspn) Malt milk powder.
A scoop of vanilla ice cream made my day.
All well, so much for the calories.
Taste is indeed fantastic!
Oat, the grain of choice
Oats contain beta -glucan ,this alone is reason to drink planet oat milk because it helps reduce cholesterol ,lower blood sugar, produces healthy stomach bacteria and makes you feel full. Planet oat milk has become THE”milk’’ of choice and one of my main beverages .The taste is closer to milk than any milk substitute I’ve ever tasted, and has a slightly unique taste of its own. The combination of really good taste and really diverse and healthy benefits make planet oats an exiting new discovery! Rare in today’s world!
smaller carton, same price
tastes great in my coffee, but very thin, requires much more than other brand. packaged in 52 oz container that looks like a half gallon until placed side by side. so 12 full ounces less than competitor and very thin: i will buy another brand.
Love it!
The original is the closest flavor to whole dairy milk that I’ve tried – and I’ve tried all that are available at stores in my vegan-friendly city. I have served it to friends and they were surprised it wasn’t dairy milk. The chocolate variety is in a class all its own – no other chocolate oat, soy, almond milk even comes close to Planet Oats Dark Chocolate.
Love this milk
My favorite non dairy drink however I only know of 1 market that sells it! And it is a little pricey, considering it’s not 1/2 gallon.
Best oat milk in the market
By far the best oat milk. It’s got a natural taste compared to other brands that add sugar which makes it too sweet. They also don’t add any oil, and it makes it have a dairy milk consistency. Neutral taste.
