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.

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.

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!
