JOI reviews and discussion

Really love their Oat Creamer packets for on the go! Soooo perfect to keep in your desk at work when ALL that you have is coffee pods laying around, but never any dairy or dairy alternatives when you need it! Other cool things... Biodegradable packaging Has avocado oil in it (healthy fats) Prebiotics in it as well! Cons - Wish there was more in a packet and wish it was creamier slightly!

I really wanted to like this creamer, but I didn’t even finish the cup of coffee I added it to. It just doesn’t taste good, has a very weird aftertaste and wasn’t sweet enough. I love the convenience of the small packets and can see how that would be a benefit to someone who needs something portable, but be sure to also pack some sweetener. The package is compostable and I liked that. This product gets a 5 for concept, 1 for taste.

Great alternative as a non-dairy creamer, works exceptionally well with all sorts of coffees. Will definitely buy more. Price is a bit high but worth it.

Like clean ingredient list, great taste and nice packaging

I really enjoyed this! It takes me a long time to finish even a pint of milk so this has allowed me to make less and waste less. I've also enjoyed that they have a few different types of nut milk to choose from depending on what you're feeling.

I have tried the almond milk base and oat milk powder. My main purpose for purchasing was that I wanted something I can easily take camping with me or just keep on hand for back up for when I run out of milk. The oat milk powder I like to put a little in my smoothies and with the almond milk base I like to make a jar of milk for the week. I will add some cinnamon and a date for a little extra flavor when blending it up.

I tried the oat milk powder and enjoyed it but didn’t purchase again because it is pricey. You can basically make the same thing yourself by blending oats and water - just a bit more work. I do love that the bag is compostable.

We tried the powdered creamer packets, we were skeptical at first because of past negative experiences with powdered vegan creamer, but it actually dissolved and incorporated well, and it perfectly did the job of creaming up coffee, and tasted just fine.

I rate Joi as a 2 simply because I can appreciate what they’re trying to do. I recently ordered Joi because I use almond milk every single day and buying almond milk was getting expensive. Joi unfortunately doesn’t taste good or have good texture. No matter how much you blend it, put it through a cheese cloth, or add salt/vanilla extract/cinnamon, it just doesn’t seem to be a great experience. I’ve tried following their recipes online and it just wasn’t working for me. There are often chunks of almond concentrate that don’t get blended and settle to the bottom of the bottle you’re storing it in.

I loved testing Joi oat milk powder because it is super convenient to use. Being in a recent situation without electricity for multiple days due to a natural disaster made it difficult to keep refrigerated milk. I like the convenience of using this to create my own milk instantly. It mixes well and has a good taste.

Got both the cashew and the oat milk starters. Not a fan of the oat version as the powder never really absorbs fully into water to make a milk substitute. I use the cashew milk base weekly but wish it lasted longer in the fridge. I store it in an airtight container and it still only takes a few days to turn slimy. I may try freezing it.

This was overall a good creamer. Made my coffee pretty enjoyable. Would use it again.

I love using Joi to make almond milk at home. It's very easy and I love eliminating all of the packaging waste associated with cartons of milk purchased in the store or online. It tastes delicious and has no sweeteners or other additives.

I've only used their oat milk powder, and I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I do. It's tasty, not obnoxiously expensive, and great for single people, or people who only use oat milk sparingly since you can choose how much you make at a time. An innovative way to make a water based product more sustainable, and the texture's great! Not at all grainy. Also, I spotted them at a refill store on time and think it's great their working with that type of business model. Would love to try some of their other products.

I love the idea of this and the execution was great. I don't drink a ton of milk and this really allowed me to only make as much as I needed. I love that its sustainable and can be used for a lot of uses as well, to thicken soups, sauces and added to desserts. highly recommend!

I liked this creamer and it was great in my coffee. It dissolved well and tasted good. I wouldn’t be able to justify buying the $1.50 single serving again, but maybe in a box for a better value I would purchase again.

I bought this for my partner, a soy milk drinker, in the early days of the pandemic -- so we'd have a long-term supply of soy milk that didn't eat up all our storage space -- and because it's much more environmentally friendly than the alternatives. Unfortunately it didn't quite work out for him. I think he used like 1/3 of it, but the texture was just a little grainy and he never really took to the whole process of mixing it himself. I would definitely try it again, though, as in concept I love the idea.

I love the brand's mission of not adding all the added supplements and ingredients that most dairy alternatives do. My favorite is by far the cashew milk base (so good in pasta sauces). It mixes pretty well for coffee, but my reason for giving a 4/5 is the powder would not mix in water. When I tried to mix it in both cold and hot water both times it clumped up and I could not drink it in my coffee.

I'd love to rate this higher, but for me oat milk creamers have really been missing the mark for me and this one was no differnt. I found that it lacked the creamy-ness I crave in a creamer. I wish this was creamier like the plain oat milk I buy tends to be. For some this may be exactly what they are looking for, but for me I will stick to my regular dairy alternative creamer.
