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.

FYI that's not a half gallon. Most oat milk cartons are less than 64 oz. The only one I found to be a true half gallon is the walmart GV brand.

I thought the same but once you open the carton it’s 7 days from the date you open it. At least that was the case with almond milk. I thought they lasted a lot longer especially since they are shelf stable etc. I had a ton of black mold on and around the rim of my almond milk well before the expiration date and that is because I’m fine print it says date of expiration is 7 days after opening.

Makes sense. I do tend toward the sweetened ones. Appreciate the insight.
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!

My family makes almond milk with our blender. It's actually quite easy and not as expensive as buying the carton or gallon. It's really just almonds and water (and salt or vanilla if you're into other flavors).
Interesting I will have to try this!
Don't know where you are from but here there's a brand called Earth's Own that makes a Barista Oat Milk which is my favorite. The box is around 900ml and it is the best tasting oat milk I've ever had and it is also made to steam well when making drinks.
