Every time I saw a picture of Silk Oat Yeah Oatmilk, I thought of the Kool-Aid man busting through a wall, shouting “Oh Yeah!” Apparently, the people at Silk also realized the odd correlation to those sugar packets, because they’ve dropped the overly enthusiastic name. It’s now simply called Silk Oatmilk, and it’s now available in four versatile varieties.
Silk Oatmilk Gives Us Something New to Shout About
According to Silk, you can feel good about enjoying their oatmilk for sustainability, too. It reportedly has a smaller footprint than most other types of milk alternatives, which have a baby footprint compared to dairy milk. But how does it taste? You can leave your own rating and review below!
Original (formula updated October 2020)
The subtle flavor of this simple oatmilk might make the transition easy for dairy-free newbies. It’s fairly neutral in taste, and is free of added sugars. The 4 grams of sugar in each serving is from the oats themselves.
Ingredients: oatmilk (filtered water, oat concentrate), sunflower oil, vitamin and mineral blend (calcium carbonate, vitamin a palmitate, vitamin d2, riboflavin [b2], vitamin b12), dipotassium phosphate, sea salt, gellan gum, ascorbic acid (to protect freshness). Produced on equipment shared with dairy and soy; see their website for details on their food allergen processes.*
Nutrition (per 1 cup serving): 90 calories, 3.5g fat, 13g carbs, 0g fiber, 5g sugars (including 5g added sugar), 1g protein. Fortified with 35% calcium, 20% vitamin D, 25% vitamin A, 25% riboflavin, and 100% vitamin B12 of the RDA.*
0g Sugar
Oats naturally convert to sugars during the enzymatic process of making creamier oatmilk. But they’ve created another step in the production chain to remove all sugars for this sugar-free variety.
Nutrition (per 1 cup serving): 60 calories, 3g fat, 7g carbs, 1g fiber, 0g sugars, 1g protein. Fortified with 35% calcium, 15% vitamin D, 25% vitamin A, 25% riboflavin, and 100% vitamin B12 of the RDA.*
Extra Creamy
A notch up in indulgence from the Plain variety, the Extra Creamy is a little sweeter and a little richer. No watery oat milk here!
Nutrition (per 1 cup serving): 120 calories, 5g fat, 18g carbs, 0g fiber, 7g sugars (includes 7g added sugars), 1g protein. Fortified with 45% calcium, 35% vitamin D, 15% vitamin A, 20% riboflavin, and 50% vitamin B12 of the RDA.*
Vanilla (formula updated October 2020)
It has just 2 grams more sugar, but this flavored version is notably sweeter then the plain one. But they are similar in other nutrients and consistency.
Nutrition (per 1 cup serving): 90 calories, 3g fat, 14g carbs, 0g fiber, 6g sugars (includes 6g added sugar), 1g protein. Fortified with 35% calcium, 20% vitamin D, 25% vitamin A, 25% riboflavin, and 100% vitamin B12 of the RDA.*
Discontinued Flavors
When they rebranded from “Oat Yeah” to just Oat Milk, the Chocolate flavor was dropped from the line.

What Others Are Saying ...
horrible
It’s horrible. Like drinking oatmeal yuck.
Best Milk Alternative!
So delicious and not overly sweet. It is so yummy, and a great replacement for milk.
Bummed
I have not tried this but I was so excited when I saw it was being released. However, it in fact is not gluten free because it contains malt extract. Half of my household is gluten free, so we will not be trying this one.
Response from Go Dairy Free
According to Silk, this product does “a small risk of cross-contamination with other gluten-containing ingredients” due to the oats, but they have not disclaimed the malt extract as a gluten ingredient. So it might be derived from corn instead of barley. Thank you for pointing out this concern though! And it definitely isn’t safe for celiac.
Vanilla flavor..
So good! I was very hesitant on buying this but gave the vanilla flavor a try and so glad I did! It definitely is sweet but the flavor is very nice. Think.. almond milk but mild? For me almond milk has a strong flavor to it so I would hardly buy it unless I really had to. This oat milk though.. YUM. The flavor is much lighter but is very creamy! Going to have to try the unsweetened one next! I do recommend it. ?
Doubt I will purchase the vanilla flavor again
I only had the opportunity to sample the vanilla. I had it by the glass, and in mashed potatoes (I know! That was actually by accident lol). I do not care for it. I doubt I will buy another carton. Compare that to the oatmilk base in the new line of So Delicious frozen dessert pints. That I like, and would buy that base as a drinking and cooking milk. I have the remaining beverage to use up, so next I will try it in coffee.
