Breast Milk Ice Cream Is Real and Available, Here's How to Get It
Alright, let's keep an open mind about this: OddFellows Ice Cream Co., in collaboration with Frida (known for baby and birthing human products), is launching a breast-milk ice cream.
What does breast milk ice cream taste like?
Much of the human population has already tasted breast milk, whether in infancy or as a curious adult, so it's not an alien flavor really, although I personally don't recall it. Breast milk is generally described as subtly sweet and a bit salty, with a smooth finish—which is how I'd describe a good vanilla sea salt ice-cream—my favorite flavor. Like everything else, you can choose to try it or not, I for one, may just grab a scoop.
Will this ice-cream be actually made of breast milk?
Well, no—but it is breast milk-flavored ice cream. Real breast milk ice cream has existed, though. Way back in 2011 and again in 2015 London-based ice cream maker Lickators created ice cream made with donated breast milk in celebration of the upcoming royal baby.
Along with being breast milk flavored, this new ice cream from Oddfellows and Frida will contain some of the same nutrients found in breast milk such as omega-3 fats, lactose, and vitamins like iron, calcium, vitamin B, D, and zinc.
Why is this collaboration between Frida and OddFellows happening now?
August is National Breastfeeding Month, baby! Which makes it a very good month to offer support and destigmatize breastfeeding, in public or otherwise—-and celebrate with this fresh, new (or not so new) flavor!
Where will the new OddFellows breastmilk ice-cream be available?
You can get your scoops of breast milk-flavored ice cream at a Frida pop up at the OddFellows Dumbo location in NYC from Aug 5 – Aug 10, and as bonus: free scoops Wednesday through Sunday from 12-1 p.m.! Pints of this limited edition breast milk-flavored ice cream will also be available nationwide at
