½ Price Vitasoy Long Life Rice Milk, Oat Milk, Almond Milk 1L $1.45 - $1.50 @ Woolworths

190

It's on again! Selected Vitasoy long-life unsweetened non-dairy non-soy milks are half price at Woolworths. Time to stock up again.
No discount on soy milk or coconut milk this time around.

Vitasoy Almond Milk Unsweetened 1L $1.50 (Normally $3)
Vitasoy Rice Milk 1L $1.50 (Normally $3)
Vitasoy Oat Milk 1L $1.45 (Normally $2.90)

I personally like the almond milk, even though it is only 3.8% almonds. Subtle taste, good for coffee, doesn't curdle. But they are all good.
Great for everyday use or stock up for prepping!

Limits may apply for quantities over 36, YMMV.

Your questions:

Q. Doesn't almond milk use a lot of water to make?
A. Not nearly as much as cow's milk. Apparently it takes some 2,000 gallons of water to produce one gallon of cow milk, roughly twice as much as that required to produce a gallon of Almond Milk.

Q. What is the best alternative milk for coffee frothing?
A. My barista says good things about Happy Happy Soy Boy at $3.85 per litre.
Woolworths now offer several brands of alternative milks for baristas, including Oatly, Almond Breeze, Sanitarium, and Australia's Own. None of these are on sale this week.

Q. Why isn't the almond milk 100% almonds?
A. That wouldn't make any sense. All milks are emulsion in water.

Q. Are they allowed to call this stuff milk when it's not from a cow?
A. See above.

Q. Which one of these is the best?
A. This is a great opportunity for you to try them and decide for yourself. Rice milk is pretty watery and oat and coconut milks can be really sweet. But nobody can tell you which one tastes best for you.

Q. Which one tastes most like cow's milk?
A. Almond Milk is very popular at the moment. It has a neutral taste.

Q. But humans are meant to drink cow's milk. It's good for us.
A. Humans have only been drinking cow's milk for 100 years, since pasteurisation and refrigeration made it safe to drink outside of a farm. Two-thirds of people on the planet are lactose intolerant. That may not include you if you're white, but don't you think drinking the breast milk of another animal is a little weird?

Q. But only weirdos and hipsters drink milk alternatives.
A. Nobody's forcing you to buy. Move along.

    The Sanitarium So Good Barista Oat Milk is also on sale at Woolies. $1off @ $3/lt. It makes an excellent coffee IMO.

    Vitasoy oat milk tastes much better than the other various brands I've tried (ALDI storebrand, Coles brand, Pureharvest and Almond Breeze). The others taste like almond flavored water where as this actually tastes like milk.

    Loved the Q&A mate. Wanted to know the best non dairy milk for frothing. BTW is this one any good for frothing?

    As much as I deplore the exploitation of other animals for their milk…

    Humans have only been drinking cow's milk for 100 years

    Not really. More like 6000 - 10000 years. Started in the fertile crescent shortly after the advent of agriculture. Still a blip in evolutionary terms and completely unnecessary today.

  • Q. But humans are meant to drink cow's milk. It's good for us.

    LOL…how many dumbasses asked this question ? :P

  • Doesn't almond milk use a lot of water to make?

    I think the issue is that almonds are grown in areas with water scarcity, and dairy farms are generally in areas with plentiful water. Having said that, I have not done any further research, but I think it's probably a bigger issue in the US than in Australia.

    But not all water is equal. If you have heaps of it, it's near worthless, but priceless if you don't have any.
