Trendy Oat Milk Is Not Just Delicious — It's So Much Better for the Planet

It's a delicious time to ditch dairy.

Minor Figures

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably spotted oat milk all over social media, behind the counter at coffee shops, and flying off the shelves at grocery stores. Made simply from rolled oats, water, and optional added sweetener, oat milk is not just creamy and delicious — it's a much more sustainable alternative to traditional dairy milk, as it uses less water, land, and emissions to produce.

Although you can certainly go the DIY route and make your own oat milk at home, we think that these store-bought oat milk brands are much more convenient. Oh yeah, and they're also insanely tasty — try them in your next matcha latte or with espresso. You can thank us later!

A note on availability: Due to increased demand, some of these products may fluctuate between in and out of stock. We will be frequently checking and refreshing the links to these products as they become available again. Some of these picks are currently only available via AmazonFresh — sign up right here.

Best Overall
Minor Figures Barista Blend Oat M*lk (6-Pack)
Minor Figures

Beloved London-based brand Minor Figures has made its way across the pond, and their Barista Blend is one of the tastiest oat milks out there. Crafted with love by baristas specifically for use in coffee, Minor Figures Oat M*lk is plant based, made with no added sugar, and contains the same amount of calcium as dairy milk.

Rich and creamy, this oat milk is made for frothing. It's my go-to for lattes.
