I had really gotten addicted to NotMilk, which is only sold at Whole Foods and a few online places. My online supplier, Imperfect Foods, decided to stop delivering to my area, so I would have to drive 90 miles to the nearest Whole Foods. I bought a 2 month supply before Imperfect Foods shut me off.
My only supplier is now Whole Foods. I thought I would order a case to make the drive worth it. That would keep me supplied for another 2 months.
I was in MetroMarket (Kroger) and saw Silk's new NextMilk product, so I picked up a carton. Not quite the same, but remarkably similar. They have done a fairly good copy of NotMilk. It is, also, cheaper. On sale it was nearly $2 cheaper than NotMilk.
Really good.
Danone's Silk looks to capture non-traditional consumers attention with its latest plant-based innovation.

John Starkey, president of plant-based food & beverages for Danone North America, told Yahoo Finance the creation combines oat milk, and a plant-based blend featuring soy and creamy coconut milk.
"Rather than focus on one plant-based ingredient, it uses a familiar blend of plant-based ingredients designed to deliver on the taste and texture of dairy," Starkey said. The formula includes nutrients found in traditional dairy like calcium, vitamin D, vitamin A, B12, riboflavin and phosphorus — in addition to 4 grams of plant-based protein per a serving.
He believes the unique blend will capture a hesitant segment of hardcore dairy-lovers that haven't made the switch to almond, soy, oat or coconut. Some 53% of people who said they would not purchase a plant-based product because of its taste, Starkey said, but "like the idea of plant based beverages."
