Heart-healthy oat milk starts with the label

The Amul Taaza Milky Milk lists a modest 4g sugar per 100g, which reads like a naturally occurring lactose level rather than an added sugar bomb. The ingredients list is still updating, so I can't fully vet additives, but the score of 9.6 suggests a clean baseline. Texture-wise, it should pour creamy and smooth, ideal for a morning pour-over when you're chasing that coffeehouse vibe on a tight budget. It may taste fresher than ultra-pasteurized cartons. Trade-off: if you're strictly zero-sugar or lactose-sensitive, this isn't a fit. It's a straightforward, everyday milk that keeps coffee balanced without turning it into dessert.

Oaxaca part skim milk cheese shows 0g sugar per 100g and a stellar 9.9 score. Ingredients are cultured pasteurized grade A milk, skim milk, sea salt, and enzymes—simple and traditional. Expect a mild, milky melt with a springy pull, great for quick quesadillas at the office when you need a warm, satisfying lunch without sweet notes. The part-skim cut keeps fat in check while still tasting indulgent. Trade-off: sea salt adds sodium, so it may not suit low-salt plans, and the texture can be chewier than full-fat Oaxaca. If you want clean, savory, and fast, this delivers.

Unsweetened almondmilk lists 0g sugar per 100g and a 9.9 score. The base is filtered water and almonds, with calcium carbonate, natural vanilla flavor, sea salt, potassium citrate, and carrageenan. It pours light with a subtle nutty aroma and a clean finish, perfect for iced coffee in a gym bag—no added sweetness muddling your brew. The vanilla hint can lift espresso without sugar. Trade-off: carrageenan can give a slightly slick mouthfeel some people dislike, and the nutty note may clash with certain teas. If you want unsweetened and dairy-free, this is a solid pick.

Muffin mix, just add milk, carries 37g sugar per 100g and a middling 6.3 score. Ingredients include enriched bleached flour, sugar, and artificial strawberry bits (dextrose, palm oil). The batter bakes up tender with a sweet, cakey crumb and a candy-like berry pop, fun for a weekend treat while kids help stir. It smells like a bakery aisle. Trade-off: the sugar load and artificial bits make it less of an everyday choice, and the bleached flour lacks whole-grain nutrition. If you want quick, crowd-pleasing muffins and can portion carefully, it works; otherwise, it's a sometimes food.

Cadbury Dairy Milk Daim 120g lists 56g sugar per 100g and a low 4.4 score. Ingredients include milk, sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, almonds, sweetened condensed skimmed milk, emulsifiers, salt, whey powder, and skimmed milk powder. It's a classic creamy snap with toffee bits, intensely sweet and indulgent—best as a late-night desk reward when you need a mood lift. Trade-off: the sugar and dairy powders can feel heavy, and it's not ideal if you're watching sugar or dairy intake. If you want a true treat, it delivers; for daily snacking, it's a hard pass.
