Vegan HexA 'milk' options

[cheekychinchilla]

Hi!
I was hoping someone could help. What milk alternatives can be used as a Healthy Extra? I want to trial something else as normal milk (even skimmed) makes me quite sick in various things. But not sure what I can and can't use and how much

Thank you! Someone recommended me Kara Coconut Milk. Said it's very low fat. But obv dunno if I can use it as an HexA I know absolutely nothing about the various milk substitutes so I've not really any idea what's out there.x

Thank you! 400mls for a HexA though?! That's a lot of 'milk'! lol.x

I'm not against splitting my HexA's and I only really have milk on cereal now and a bit in hot chocolate. I don't imagine the Hazelnut, coconut, or chocolate would be of any use in macaroni cheese Maybe I would like it in coffee if I tried it.
But even so splitting a HexA so I'm having 200ml is still a fair bit. Hmmm, will have a think. I guess I should try them first before I totally decide what to do anyway

Thanks for all your replies.x

Thanks very much! Btw does it matter if it's the chilled or long life versions of each 'milk'?x

No it doesn't matters if chilled or long life. The chocolate oatly goes great in porridge or on weetabix and 200ml isn't that large a quantity. I love the kara warmed up (about 250ml) with a hot chocolate sachet before bed.

I'm not sure what I think of the Kara. And I have 2 litres of it lol! It tastes too much like real, whole milk to me. I was expecting something sweet with maybe a hint of coconut. I've never been a milk drinker and hate being able to actually taste milk.
It is quite nice in porridge though and I used it in my Mac & Cheese tonight. But think I'll try either the chocolate Oatly or the hazelnut Alpro when I've finished the Kara.x
