I have yet to see commercially available pea milk where I live.

    I tried pea milk for the first time a couple of weeks back, albeit it was chocolate flavored. It was pretty good and is a good alternative to water-hungry almond milk.

    Yeah if people want this to catch on you can’t call it pea milk.

    Peas are a type of pulse. So let’s call it pulse milk that sounds a lot more appetizing :>

    Well of course. Peas are a lot smaller than cows and will eat and fart a lot less.

      Ahh yes give me your finest cup of pea.

      Heather, scum. I said pea… Do you not understand?

    I had some pea chocolate milk and it was pretty okay. Think almond and oat taste better but it’s not the worse (that’s soy).

    I’ve had pea milk, doesn’t seem too rare in the UK. It was nice enough, maybe slightly watery compared to oat (my go to) but that could just have been the brand.

    The comparisions are interesting, but also kind of demonstrate the futility of debating between plant based milks. There’s a clear worst candidate here, and it isn’t plant based. If your thinking of switching, choose your favourite, soy might be the second worst but it’s significantly less than half the emmisions of cow milk.

      I want to use oat milk but I’m having a hard time getting used to the difference in taste to cow milk

        My tip would be, give one of them a go for a set time period, like a month!

        It’s so interesting how the brain gets used to stuff, I did have the same thing when I swapped, but now cow milk tastes kind of funky when I do have it. You might find that after a week or so, you end up preferring it (you might also find you hate it, but at least you can say you gave it a go when you swap back, haha!)

          Yeah, I’ll probably have to force my way through it. For now I just stopped drinking milk in general.

    This seems to show that coconut milk is better and uses barely any water. Also, it’s coconut milk, which is lovely.
