You can return them to our production facility after cleaning them with soapy water and drying them thoroughly: we'll reuse them again!

    Our pouches are made from 45% recycled materials, but unfortunately, they are not recyclable. Despite extensive research, we have yet to find packaging that is recyclable, guarantees optimal preservation and quality of our products, while remaining as practical as our current pouches. If you have any ideas or suggestions, we're always interested!

  • Our plant-based bases, unmixed with water, can be stored for one year at room temperature, even after opening . Thanks to their long natural shelf life, you can make just the amount you need, when you need it, without compromising quality or taste. What's more, our pouches are designed to be carried everywhere with you: to the office, on the road, or to the cottage for the weekend!

    Once mixed with water, the resulting milk can be kept for 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator.

  • We do not recommend freezing our bases or milk as this reduces the creaminess of the products.

  • Our bottle is much more than just a container: it recalls the days of the milkman to bring back old memories or dream of a time we will never have known! It simplifies your life with its dosage lines and preparation steps: zero risk of making a mistake, even in the morning rush. Reusable and ultra-durable, it is ready to accompany you for a long time; and if the cap plays up, don't panic, it is replaceable!

  • After each use, use a brush and soapy water to remove any residue. Then simply rinse with clean water. You can also wash your bottle in the dishwasher without any problem!

  • Yes, it's completely normal for our plant-based drinks to separate. Since we retain all the fiber naturally present in the ingredients and don't add any additives to our products, a natural separation phenomenon occurs (a bit like freshly squeezed orange juice!).
    Mix your plant-based drink before use and you're done!

  • Of course! Smoothies, sauces, creamy batters, pancakes, Dam plant-based drinks are an ally in the kitchen and in all your Masterchef moments!
    Find all our recipes on our blog or our Instagram account!

  • EASE OF USE. The bucket with tap option makes preparing plant-based drinks hassle-free, as you can pour your plant-based milk base directly from the bucket into your bottle. No more mess :)

  • Dam buckets without taps are reusable and we encourage you to bring them back to our workshop in Rosemont to give them a second life and so we can avoid waste together.
    If you live far from Montreal, you can give your bucket a second life in another way: flower pots, sandcastles with the kids, ... Let your creativity speak! :)

Ingredients

  • Our products are made from high-quality, natural ingredients with minimal processing. We prioritize sustainably sourced ingredients with no artificial additives or preservatives. We use only basic ingredients: Canadian oats, raw almonds, sunflower oil, cane sugar, Himalayan salt, sodium bicarbonate, and amylase (a digestive enzyme that is no longer present in the finished product).
    NO BS.

  • The only allergen we work with on our premises is almonds. Our oat milk may therefore contain traces of almonds, but we make every effort to prevent the risk of cross-contamination between our products: almond milk and oat milk are produced in separate areas and each product has its own production equipment.

  • No, we use certified gluten-free Canadian oats and none of our other ingredients contain gluten.

  • No, none of our products contain GMOs.

  • Yes, all our plant-based drinks are 100% vegan.

  • We try to source as much locally as possible to support Canadian farmers!
    The oats we use are proudly Canadian!
