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.

Thick and creamy tasting
After years of drinking unsweetened almond milk and feeling it was just “acceptable” we discovered Planet Oat Oatmilk. YUM! It tastes like cows milk only better! Creamier, smoother and just all around better tasting. The plusses include more fiber, but also more calories. But no sugar, no carrageenen, etc. Read the label and decide for yourself, if it’s “nope don’t think I want this” …. taste it!!! You’ll probably change your mind. Eat one less cookie a day and enjoy your cereal more!
A Surprise
A welcomed choice from milk, surprisingly simiar and equally as delicious.
Good product and fair price
I really was impressed with this non dairy milk. It has a fresh flavor. It also has a creamy texture comparable to milk, which worked really well in my cereal. I never like the texture or taste soy or coconut milk in my cereal. This was a pleasant surprise.
Eureka! Well Done!
I love this brand. I fell I instantly in love with the flavor, texture and substance of the extra creamy oat milk. Wonderful taste against competitors with watery plant based liquids.
Absolutely Delicious
This is by far my favorite non-dairy milk. I always buy the Extra Creamy and it works perfectly in my coffee and cereal. The regular was my first go-to, but it is slightly more watery than the extra creamy (as one would expect). I highly recommend this for someone who is wary of non-dairy milks!
No after taste
I looked up a few vegan free milks to try, and was skeptical about this product, but I was at BJ’s, and had a coupon for $2.50 off for 2, so I wanted to try it. I really like it. Its better than almond milk, and soy. I cant wait to try it in my coffee, and smoothies.
The Best Oat Milk!
For a month now my daughter and I have been trying every kind of non dairy option we could find for our coffee. I had all but given up when I found Planet Oat’s Extra Creamy Original Oat Milk and put it in my foamer. Not only did it foam beautifully but it tastes exceptional and now I dont miss not having half and half in my coffee! Thank you for an exceptional product!
Best all around oat milk
I’ve tried almost every oat milk there is, and this is my favorite. As someone who avoids sugar I appreciate how low the content of sugar is and the lack of oil. Oil being added to milk really grosses me out. I love the flavor. I bake and cook with it and I also love it in my coffee.
Best milk ever!
I was a lifelong milk drinker until some years ago, when I become convinced of the negative health aspects of dairy. Relieved of the cardio-threats of dairy and overrun mucosal stimulation, I sought other substitutes to no avail. Nothing had that rich, fulfilling taste – comparable to cows’milk – until I tried Planet Oat. It’s not that the taste is identical: it has its own, unique rich flavor. But the creamy richness and satisfying aftertaste is there in a way that, heretofore, only cows’ milk could do! So far, I’ve only tried the original, but I intend to try all flavors. Thank you, Planet Oat, for bringing back to me one of life’s fine pleasures: a tall glass of rich, creamy milk!
More like regular milk
I like oat milk better than any of the other plant-milks. I like their original even without the extra creamy. It doesn’t make my coffee taste terrible and that is what I use it for. The other brands use oil and I am trying to do Whole Food Plant-Based low to no oil. I also want the Vitamin B12 because I keep forgetting to supplement.
