Say Goodbye to Sour Cartons and Hello to Zero-Waste Oat Milk with MYOM
When it comes to planet-friendly switches, swapping cow’s milk for oat milk is one many of us have already made.
The trouble is, unless you’re pouring it into everything from your cereal to mashed potatoes, finishing a full carton before it goes off is… unlikely.
Personally, I’ve lost count of how many half-used cartons have ended up down the sink.
It’s frustrating, it’s wasteful, and it kind of defeats the purpose of trying to make more sustainable choices in the first place.
They say there’s no use crying over spilt milk, but when you’re paying good money just to watch it spoil before your very eyes, it’s hard not to shed at least a tear or two.
A few weeks ago, MYOM came onto my radar when it was crowned the UK’s best vegan milk.
Intrigued by this relative newcomer, I did a little digging. What I found only deepened my curiosity.
Unlike most ready to drink cartons, MYOM comes in handy liquid sachets that mix with water to create zero-waste oat milk on demand.
The shake-to-make formula promises to save on fridge space, cut down on lost milk, and further slash environmental impact — all while tasting best in glass.
I put it to the test (using code GYMFLUENCERSAGENCY for free shipping) to see if it really delivers on those lofty promises. Spoiler alert: I might never buy regular oat milk again.
What is MYOM Milk?
MYOM is an acronym for “Make Your Own Milk,” which is exactly what it lets you do. Each sachet is filled with a liquid, creamy oat blend that’s fortified with calcium, iodine, vitamin B12, and vegan-friendly vitamin D3.
It’s 100% plant-based, has no added sugar, no dairy, and doesn’t need chilling before opening.
You just grab the retro glass bottle (included in the Value Bundle), pour in some water, add a sachet, shake it up, and boom: fresh zero-waste oat milk in under a minute.
First Impressions: What’s It Like to Use?
Honestly, I thought it might be a bit of a faff. But it’s weirdly satisfying. The pouch pours out easily (none of that toothpaste-tube acrobatics), and the milk mixes up smoothly.
That’s arguably one of the biggest perks of a liquid formula vs the powdered standard. There are no lumps, clumps, or gritty boulders — just good, clean oat milk.
The whole process takes about 60 seconds, tops. You start with 240ml of water, squeeze in the 65g pouch, shake, then top up to 500ml and give it another quick shake. That’s it. And because you’re only making what you need, there’s no more racing to finish a carton before it turns.
It’s the kind of brilliance yet simplicity that makes you think, “why hasn’t anybody come up with this before?”
Does It Actually Taste Good?
Too often plant-based means settling for some sort of compromise. Whether that’s in price, taste, or texture. The same can be said for convenient, long-life options, too.
MYOM’s zero-waste oat milk somehow hits every note using nothing but the humble oat and a good dash of inspiration.
It’s got a smooth, creamy texture and a naturally sweet, slightly nutty flavour that works in everything — from coffee to cereal to just drinking it straight from the bottle (which I’ve definitely done).
There’s no watery thinness or feeling that it’s missing that something you can’t quite put your finger on. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that it’s not just the best tasting plant milk I’ve sampled, but the best milk full stop.
I even started using less water in the mix to make it a bit richer — that’s how highly I rated it.
Zero-Waste Oat Milk That’s Actually Versatile
So far, I’ve tried MYOM’s zero-waste oat milk in iced coffee, with cereal, and just on its own. All wins. I haven’t tested it in baking or smoothies yet, but I’ve got no doubt it’ll hold up.
Better still? You always have a stash on hand. You can forget last-minute dashes to the shop in your dressing gown. Just mix a fresh bottle whenever you need it.
Sustainability: Where MYOM Really Shines
Oat milk is billed as the sustainable choice, but there’s still plenty of waste involved in lugging around your ready to drink staples.
MYOM takes things a step — scratch that, a whole leap — further on the waste front. Here’s what makes their zero-waste oat milk such a strong eco option:
- You’re not shipping litres of water (you add that at home)
- Recyclable sachets instead of bulky cartons
- A reusable glass bottle that cuts down single-use packaging
- Long shelf life = less waste in your fridge
- No cows, no methane, no dairy emissions
It’s one of the few genuinely low-impact milk options that doesn’t feel like you’re making a sacrifice.
What About the Price?
I grabbed the 500ml Value Bundle for £24.99, which includes that trusty bottle and 24 pouches. That works out to just over £1 per 500ml — about £2 per litre.
Compared to a fancy barista oat milk, that’s pretty reasonable. Especially when you factor in the reduced waste, the added nutrients, and the fact you’re only making what you need.
If you drink oat milk regularly, MYOM’s zero-waste oat milk more than pulls its weight.
Ready to Upgrade?
MYOM has taken oat milk and made it a convenient, flavour-packed, planet-loving marvel.
So if you’re tired of pouring milk (and money) down the drain, this is the trend-bucking, zero-waste oat milk that’s well worth a spot in your cupboard.
