![]() ![]() When eaten with cereal or as an accompaniment to cookies, for example, I thought Nextmilk was a more than acceptable substitute. Still, it’s quite delicious, and it might be close enough to dairy for some people. The ingredients list reflect what I tasted: It consists primarily of oat milk, plus smaller proportions of coconut milk, coconut oil, soy protein isolate, chicory root extract, cane sugar, sunflower oil, a vitamin and mineral blend, sea salt, locust bean gum, gellan gum, sunflower lecithin, soy lecithin and “natural flavor.” It does have a similar creamy mouthfeel to regular milk and the taste is a little closer to dairy than other plant-based milks I’ve tried, but it doesn’t quite replace dairy for me. It tastes more like a richer, fattier version of oat milk. I tried a sample of Silk’s Nextmilk last week and while it’s tasty, I wasn’t fooled into thinking it tastes like cow's milk. It’s going on sale today in grocery stores like Target, Kroger, Publix and HEB, among others. It will be available in both full fat and reduced fat versions (MSRP is $4.99 for a 59-ounce carton). That’s exactly the selling point of Silk’s new line of plant-based milk, Nextmilk. Even then, it's rare for a dairy-free version to taste like the real thing. ![]() But you don't often hear about attempts to mimic a different animal-based product: milk.Īnd when you do hear of plant-based milks, it's more likely to be dairy alternatives like almond milk, soy milk or oat milk. Between Impossible and its biggest competitor, Beyond Meat, we've also seen plant-based chicken nuggets, sausage, pork, " KFC" and even taco meat. Nowadays, it's not just patties that can do a convincing impersonation of animal products, and it's not just Impossible Foods. Ever since Impossible Foods stole the show at 2019 with its White-Castle-burger-that-wasn't, Engadget has been following the science of plant-based foods. ![]()
