Since the turn of the decade (last week!), Danone has been quietly releasing several new dairy-free products under their Silk brand.

This is the best tasting, plant based, half and half by far!
This is the best tasting, plant based, half and half by far! Not sweet but just right. But its always āsold out or not availableā where ever I go.
Great Non dairy Creamer
I love this non dairy creamer. I have tried other brands of non dairy creamers, but none of them can compare. It is so creamy! I use a frother and it whips up great. I have used regular half and half in my coffee for over 20 years, but I will not go back! Please expand your selling area. š
Silk dairy free half and half
Itās better than dairy half and half??
Delish
I just went dairy free, gluten and yeast free. This half & half made my day! It is the best substitute ā it really tastes good. The thickness and the subtle taste remind me of cream and not a plant based substitute. I am thankful that my morning coffee routine has not suffered with my new diet.
I canāt believe itās not cow !
I have been looking for an alternative to half & half that I can stand. My doctor says I should go dairy free. I hate powder and I canāt pronounce half the ingredients anyway. I like oat milk and I like coconut milk but individually they donāt get my java as white as I like. THIS I am enjoying. And it froths easily, so I get my longed for latte effect
Creamy and Delicious!
This is the best dairy free creamer I have found. Itās thicker and creamier than others. Tastes almost as good as real half and half.
I can finally have my coffee again!
Had to quit dairy recently and missed my coffee. Just found this and itās wonderful. Really appreciate the no sugar and NO carrageenan!
Now I want to find the heavy cream.
Finally found a substitute for dairy 'half and half'!
I am so happy that I tried this! I was fearful that it might taste fake or sweet but it tastes as close to dairy as can be without coming from a cow. It has the body of coconut but the oat milk mellows and prevents the flavor from screaming ācoconutā.
Thank you so much!
Slight after taste
I needed to give up dairy. This is an ok substitute.
Wow! New Vegan Review
So Iām new to veganism and was worried about struggling to find a coffee creamer that would come close to the heavy whipping cream I previously used. I have tried various things in the past with āmehā to ābleghā results. This stuff is SO GOOD! Very creamy and I canāt taste the coconut aspect (I donāt really care for coconut anything.) Will be buying more! Thanks for a great product!
