    Planet Oat Oatmilk Doubles Down on Low Sugar with Unsweetened Flavors

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on April 23, 2021 Dairy-Free Milk Substitute Reviews, Product Reviews

    Planet Oat Oatmilk has always been a low sugar brand, and most of their flavors have “no added sugars” (see note below). But a few grams of sugars are produced in the processing of the oats. So they’ve launched two new “Unsweetened” varieties that each contain zero grams of total sugar to help meet every need.

    When Planet Oat Oatmilk was first released, you might have thought this was a fledgling company, but it 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 jumped into the fast-growing, non-dairy market. But unlike many of their competitors, it looks like they got it right the first time. Planet Oat Oatmilk has been met with rave reviews for it’s creamy consistency, fortification, performance in coffee, and naturally low-sugar taste.

    Planet Oat Oatmilk Revew - ratings, ingredients, allergen info, certifications and more! It's dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free, vegan and labeled as gluten-free.

    Planet Oat Oatmilk Doubles Down on Low Sugar with New Unsweetened

    Aside from the dark chocolate, all of the Planet Oat Oatmilk varieties are made without any added sugars (see note below). As mentioned, an enzymatic process used to make oatmilk (so it isn’t goopy like homemade versions!) breaks some of the carbohydrates down into sugars. So they aren’t sugar-free, but do not have any sugars added to the ingredients. Now, somehow, Planet Oat has managed to remove those last traces of oat sugar in their new, sugar-free, unsweetened varieties. And like their other flavors, these cartons are also generously fortified with vitamins and minerals.

    Added Sugar in Planet Oat Oatmilk

    It looks like some in-store cartons are now showing 4 grams of added sugars in the Extra Creamy, Original, and Vanilla varieties, despite no change in the total sugars, formula, or information on Planet Oat’s website. There was a ruling that oat milk companies must disclose “oat sugar” created during the production of oat milk (they use an enzymatic process that breaks some of the oat down into simpler carbohydrates), as added sugars. We assume that’s why cartons in store seem to have “added sugars” now. So technically, there still aren’t any types of sugar added to the formula, but sugar is created in the processing.

    Delicious in coffee and a cheaper option than other dairy-free alternatives!

    Rated 5 out of 5
    May 3, 2023

    Maybe I’m biased because before I went dairy-free, I drank only skim milk so I love “watery” milk and don’t like “thick and creamy” milk products. But, I love planet oat! It’s the cheapest option at the store, which is really nice because 90% of diary-free and vegan options are soooo expensive. I use the unsweetened vanilla milk and their caramel creamer in my coffee every day! Oat milk is just better than almond milk for coffee and I love this brand!

    I use the unsweetened vanilla every day. I’m on a liquid diet, due to cancer side effects. I make my nutrition drinks with milk. I now use quite a bit of of the delicious Planet Oat to eliminate sugar intake. The vanilla makes it sooo yummy!

    I love the the Plant Oat Dark Chocolate, I can’t be with out it , I buy two or three at a time I love the flavor, If I’m a little hungry or want something a little sweet I have a glass, that kills my craving, and I find easily digested, I’ve tried other brands but I like Plant Oat, no other brand has the Dark Chocolate.

    The worst oat milk I have purchased

    This product is colored water.

    This product does not have an hint of oat flavor.

    This product is not adequate for my coffee , cereal or just drinking. I would get a glass of water instead.

    Kirkland oat milk from Costco is the best I have ever used and is a far superior product. It is vegan as well if that’s your thing.

    I will never purchase this product again.

    So disappointed after trying this brand. Its super thin, very watery and doesn’t have a distinctive taste. I tried this brand to see if it was better than the chobani oat milk line and it is not!

    Love this product as I have tried other non-dairy and they didn’t agree with my digestive system. Plant-Oat is very tasty satisfying and light to my palate, but for some reason all the stores near me do not have it on the shelves this week, so we are completely out. What is happening to the stock of this non-dairy milk, So disappointing!

    So I tried Planet Oat Original for the 1st time due to a promotional free coupon and I am hooked! I’ve seriously been back to my fridge 4 times for another refill. It’s perfectly sweet with a light oatmeal taste and not too thick. Definitely will purchase!

    Response from Go Dairy Free

    The product is made without any dairy and marketed as vegan. If you need to know vitamin sources, you will need to contact the company.

    Sooo good!!

    I have tried all of the available products from Planet Oat now and I am hooked! I love that I can just drink the milk or have it with something. The frozen dessert (ice cream) is amazing!! And the coffee creamer is perfect (other brands left sediment at the bottom of my coffee, but Planet Oat is creamy and smooth). Love, love, love.
