Rude Health came from humble beginnings, starting from a kitchen table in 2005. Rude Health started as a muesli company, with the founders Nick and Camilla aiming to make the world’s finest muesli. Over the years their attention turned to making porridge and granola to add to their existing breakfast cereals.

It was only in 2013 that Rude Health moved into the drinks space, bringing out their own dairy-free milcs to accompany their breakfast cereals. They started creating these milks because they couldn’t find any existing drinks to match the taste and quality they expected to match their cereals.

Best For A Sweet Almond Taste

This almond milk is perfect if you enjoy a slightly sweet tasting milc. The milk is unsweetened, however, the addition of rice does sweeten it slightly. If you’re looking for an option without the sweet taste then the Ultimate Almond is an option to consider. 

The taste of this drink is incredibly smooth and very easy to drink. It’s also a great addition to smoothies and even in a glass by itself. 

The almond milk is very popular and easy to drink by itself. So much so that there’s a mini almond drink that can easily be carried around with you.

Best For Smoothies

This coconut milk is a sweet alternative with excellent consistency – great in smoothies, hot chocolate and coffee. Many reviews of this product cite it as the best tasting coconut milk on the market, with just a few ingredients.

This milk is gluten-free, dairy-free and unsweetened. There are only 4 main ingredients: spring water, organic rice, organic coconut milk (7.5%) and sea salt. With only 7.5% coconut milk the coconut taste isn’t too overpowering.

Best For Smoothies

If you’re not looking for a sweet milk, this could be the one for you. This smooth oat milk is a great addition to smoothies to counter the sweetness of fruit and is also great for using in recipes.

This milk also blends well into tea and coffee, frothing nicely like many other oat milks.

This milk uses gluten-free oats and therefore this product is free from both gluten and dairy.

Best For Cereal

This milk is perfect for adding to savoury dishes such as simple cereals and with coffee. If you’re planning to add hot milk to coffee then go for the barista soya drink alternative. 

Soy, in general, has become a topic of interest and controversy when it comes to the effects of soy in the body, however, here at Plant Milc we still enjoy soya drinks with cereal or the barista soya with coffee.

This milc contains water, soya beans (11.5%), organic rice syrup and sea salt. It is dairy-free and gluten-free with no added sugar.

Best For Coffee With A Mild Nut Taste

An almond drink that you can froth, steam, or heat up in a saucepan and will pair perfectly with your coffee. The nutty flavour or the almonds and the creamy texture of oats within this milc pair perfectly. 

This is a very simple recipe made up of only five ingredients, spring water, organic oats, organic almonds (3%), organic sunflower lecithin and sea salt. 

If you like the nutty almond taste with your coffee then this is a perfect pairing, however, if you aren’t a fan of the nutty taste then go for the barista oat drink instead.

Best For Creamy Coffee

This milk pairs perfectly with coffee – heated, steamed and frothed. The simple recipe is only five ingredients: spring water, organic oats (14%), organic sunflower oil, seaweed and sea salt, but when combined in this way it’s creamy and not watery like you might expect.

The benefit of having a low number of ingredients is that it is suitable for many people with allergens. The milk contains oats and may contain soya, but otherwise free from any common allergen ingredients.

Best For Neutral Coffee Taste

Soy is great to work with if you’re a barista or if you’re a wannabe barista at home with your coffee machine. This barista soy milk is no exception and well worth your consideration when it comes to barista milk. 

Not only does this milk play well with heat but the texture and neutral taste make soya the benchmark to compare any other barista milk to.

This milc contains only five simple ingredients – water, organic soya beans (14%), organic rice, seaweed and sea salt.

Best For Simple Ingredients & Luxury Taste

The most simple of drinks to come from Rude Health, with only two ingredients – water and organic almonds (6%). At 6% the percentage of almonds sounds low, however, when compared to the almond drink with only 1% organic almonds there’s a significant increase to make up for the lack of any other ingredients. 

You can add this to recipes when baking, on top of your cereal or even add added to smoothies as a milk alternative. 

This ultimate almond blend is a little more expensive than other almond drinks so shop around to get the best price.

Best For Adding Creaminess To Dishes

This cashew nut milk from rude health might be a less well-known alternative milk but it is one of the creamiest alternatives. 

The creaminess of the cashews means this milk will complement dishes as an alternative to whole milk. You can use this when looking to thicken up a soup and provide a creamy texture as well as adding to your curry dish to dampen the spice and replace heavy cream.

Contains only three simple ingredients. Spring water, organic cashews (5%) and sea salt.

There are only four ingredients in this tiger nut milk. Springwater, organic rice, organic tiger nuts (6%) and sea salt. Having these simple ingredients makes it super simple to identify any allergens, this is both dairy-free and gluten-free.

Best For Warm Cup Of Hot Chocolate

A milk that’s both rich with chocolate and with a nutty taste sounds almost too good to be true, however, that’s exactly what Rude Health has delivered. The texture is smooth and velvety with a hint of richness. If you’re not into the nutty taste check out the oat hot choc instead.

You can easily heat this in a pan and sip on out of a large mug whilst reading a book or watching TV to take your mind off the day. 

There are only five ingredients that make up this delicious milk. Springwater, organic rice, organic hazelnuts (2.6%), organic cacao (1.5%) and sea salt.

Best For Hazelnut Milk Drink

This milk is sweet, smooth and distinctively nutty, so if you’re not a fan of the hazelnut taste then this will unlikely go down well with you either. The sweet flavour and smooth taste from the rice mean it’s worth having by itself as a glass of milk.

Only 5 natural ingredients in this milc, spring water, organic rice, organic hazelnuts (2%), organic cold-pressed sunflower oil and sea salt.

Best For Simple Turmeric Latte

If you’re a fan of turmeric, especially turmeric latte like we are here at Plant Milc then this is the perfect quick solution to your craving.

It is a little on the expensive side if you’re used to making turmeric latte from scratch and it does only contain 0.5% turmeric but it’s also packed with a load of other spices, it is quick and simple and it is very tasty.

Eight amazing ingredients go into this turmeric latte milc that make it taste so amazing. Water, organic rice, organic sunflower oil, organic turmeric (0.5%), organic ginger, sea salt, organic cinnamon and organic black pepper.

Best For Baking

You may be familiar with rice milks made from white rice but Rude Health has this brown rice drink that tastes amazing and has some natural sweetness to it.

The price point of this milc is typically higher than other rice milks you’ll find on the market but well worth a try as it might just be the flavour, texture and sweetness that suits you.

Contains only four natural and simple ingredients. Spring water, organic brown rice (17%), organic cold-pressed sunflower oil and sea salt.

We do love these Rude Health drinks here at Plant Milc, they have an impressive product range as well as a variety of options to give your taste buds a thrill. They probably won’t all become staples in your cupboard but we do like that they’re packaged so they can be kept there until you’re ready to open them.

They’re not the cheapest plant milcs on the market but that price does come with some luxury products, so maybe you’ll find one that you can treat yourself to more regularly.
