I tried hard to switch to almond/oat milk but the crazy thing is that it expires much more quickly than whole milk. So it was defeating the purpose because I wasn’t drinking it fast enough and ended up wasting a ton of it. Wish they’d make them in smaller jugs or whatever.
My oat milk lasts a month or so. Planet Oat is the one I use most. Far less sugar than almond milk and is fortified. A half-gallon I will usually finish up a few days prior to the date, but then I am only an occasional cereal killer.
You know, I am just accustomed to calling it a “half-gallon” as that’s the general size of the containers that used to truly be 64 ounces. I am fully aware of shrinkflation. This current one (Chobani) is 52 ounces.
I thought the same but once you open the carton it’s 7 days from the date you open it. At least that was the case with almond milk. I thought they lasted a lot longer especially since they are shelf stable etc. I had a ton of black mold on and around the rim of my almond milk well before the expiration date and that is because I’m fine print it says date of expiration is 7 days after opening.
I have some Chobani oat milk at the moment. It says June 12 for an expiration. I’ll finish it long before that, but it does always last over a month for me. I don’t normally have almond milk, so I can’t say there. Maybe the sugars contribute to your issue? No sugar in the oat milks I usually drink.
I’m genuinely confused by this statement. Plant based milk lasts SUBSTANTIALITY longer than cows milk. I can leave it in my fridge for weeks, maybe a month and its still good. I legit have not ever looked at an expiry date since switching to soy milk.
That’s not even to mention that you can buy them in unrefrigerated, shelf stable cartons. It’s longer lasting in every imaginable way.
They expire 7 days from the date you open the carton. Atleast for almond milk and I’m fairly certain that applies to oat milk as well. I thought the same as you. But one bad experience is all you need.
My family makes almond milk with our blender. It’s actually quite easy and not as expensive as buying the carton or gallon. It’s really just almonds and water (and salt or vanilla if you’re into other flavors).
Don’t know where you are from but here there’s a brand called Earth’s Own that makes a Barista Oat Milk which is my favorite. The box is around 900ml and it is the best tasting oat milk I’ve ever had and it is also made to steam well when making drinks.

FYI that’s not a half gallon. Most oat milk cartons are less than 64 oz. The only one I found to be a true half gallon is the walmart GV brand.

Makes sense. I do tend toward the sweetened ones. Appreciate the insight.

It depends on how much sugar is in it. Shelf stable soy milk lasts a long time in my experience. ‘Silk’ goes off in a couple weeks tho
Yes, it was the vanilla silk milk. Noted, thank you!

Interesting I will have to try this!
