In the growing conversation around the best milk alternatives, MYOM Original Oat Drink offers a unique, smarter choice. It’s not only a more sustainable and health-conscious option than cow’s milk—it also significantly improves on conventional oat milks sold in cartons.
Unlike most plant-based milks that are 90% water packaged in bulky, hard-to-recycle cartons, MYOM is a shelf-stable oat milk premix in a compact, fully recyclable pouch. You simply add water at home. This format slashes emissions, reduces packaging waste, and gives you fresh oat milk on demand—without compromising on nutrition or taste.
Nutritional Comparison
MYOM is naturally lactose-free and lower in fat and calories than semi-skimmed cow’s milk—just 34 kcal and 1.4g fat per 100ml, compared to 46 kcal and 2g fat in cow’s milk. While cow’s milk delivers more protein (3g vs. MYOM’s 0.4g), MYOM is fortified with calcium, vitamin D, B12, and iodine to match or exceed dairy’s micronutrient profile. It also contains dietary fibre and no cholesterol—something cow’s milk cannot offer.
Environmental Impact
MYOM's environmental advantage is twofold. Like other oat milks, it already requires significantly less land and water than dairy. But MYOM goes further by removing water from the production process entirely—dramatically reducing transport weight and emissions. Compared to dairy milk’s 628L of water use per litre and 3.15kg CO2 emissions, MYOM offers one of the lowest footprints in the milk aisle.
Packaging and Waste Reduction
Carton-based oat milks, while better than dairy, still ship unnecessary water in large volumes, generating packaging and emissions waste. MYOM’s small pouch format is lighter, more compact, and fully recyclable. It eliminates refrigeration during transport and storage, meaning a longer shelf life and less food waste at home.
Taste and Functionality
Taste is subjective, but many consumers prefer MYOM’s creamy, lightly sweet flavour to the stronger dairy notes of cow’s milk. MYOM froths beautifully and works seamlessly in coffee, cooking, and smoothies. Unlike traditional oat milks, which can separate or spoil quickly, MYOM is mixed fresh—giving it a distinct advantage in both taste and texture.
Who Should Choose MYOM?
If you're vegan, lactose-intolerant, or simply environmentally conscious, MYOM is a compelling alternative to both cow’s milk and conventional oat milk. Its fortified nutrition and thoughtful packaging support healthier lifestyles and a healthier planet. It's also perfect for anyone seeking a clean-label, low-waste milk option that doesn't compromise on taste.
Conclusion
In the oat milk vs cow milk debate, MYOM doesn’t just stand out—it redefines what oat milk can be. With nutritional benefits, significantly lower environmental impact, and a smarter packaging model, MYOM is the clear choice for modern, mindful consumers. Whether you're switching from dairy or upgrading from carton oat milk, MYOM delivers more for you and the planet.
