Breast Milk Ice Cream Taste Test: Frida-OddFellows Review
Breast Milk Ice Cream — it's here and it's real. Well, kind of. About nine months ago (get it?), baby brand Frida cleverly teased the release of their new Breast Milk Ice Cream — no, it's not made from human milk, but it is meant to mimic the flavors and nutritional value of it. August is also National Breastfeeding Awareness Month, so this isn't just a random drop. According to their website, the ice cream is "lightly sweet, a little salty, with hints of honey and a dash of colostrum." If, like me, you're unaware of what colostrum is, it's the first breast milk released after giving birth and is commonly referred to as "liquid gold" due to its high concentration of nutrients and antibodies. Colostrum has kind of been blowing up in the wellness world, with people taking supplements and adding colostrum powder to smoothies and shakes. But, like with many of these "health" trends, there's very little research into how or if it can benefit adults. Of course, Frida isn't using the human-made stuff; instead, they've included bovine (cow) colostrum in their ice cream. Thus, Breast Milk Ice Cream was born in partnership with OddFellows, a small-batch ice cream company, for a limited-time run at their Dumbo location in Brooklyn, New York. Let's just say, the internet was confused at first... Let me repeat: This is NOT made with human milk. I promise. People were also a little intrigued. Seems like a lot of people out there have tasted breast milk. And, of course, there were the jokes, from SNL to Late Night. As Stephen Colbert put it: "I'm afraid you will not win me over, no matter how many times you use the word 'colostrum.'" Oh, and let's not forget the breast milk ice cream truck casually rolling down the streets of NYC! What a time to be alive. After witnessing what might possibly be one of my favorite marketing campaigns, I knew it was my duty to take one for the team and try this out. But since I couldn't polish off three pints of ice cream alone, I sent one of the office-wide Slack messages I've ever had to send. Safe to say, I was (rightfully) bullied. Hey you!

Could we compare it to breast milk? Well, no (except for one of us, but we'll get to that). But we could decide whether or not it's just generally good ice cream. First things first: the packaging, which was aptly branded with many boobs. Honestly, 10/10 on the design — I think it tells us exactly what we're in for. Here came the most shocking part, though: the color. While we were expecting the yellow-ish tint Frida promised, we weren't expecting it to look like the cheese powder from a box of Kraft. Unfortunately, the look was giving mango sorbet, not creamy, delicious ice cream. A lot of people mentioned that the color "threw them off" and looked a bit artificial, even if it was meant to mimic "liquid gold." (After looking up photos of colostrum, I couldn't find one that was this yellow.) I was pretty much met with WTF reactions the second I handed folks a scoop. Not a strong start. Now, onto the taste. I didn't mention the flavor notes Frida lists on their site to anyone — I only reassured them that they were, in fact, not consuming human milk. TL;DR: Once we got past the psychological barrier, we actually really liked it. Most people described it as "aggressively milky" (fitting, honestly) and said that you could really taste the heavy cream and egg yolks you'd associate with a rich French ice cream. The creamy texture was also divine; I'd give that a 10/10 alone. We even got hints of caramel and toasted marshmallow. A lot of us thought it just tasted like really good vanilla ice cream, even if it was very sweet. The one thing that seemed to be missing was that salty note Frida lists. One tester even took matters into his own hands and added a sprinkle of salt to his scoop, which he described as "magical." it taste like breast milk? Well, only one of us (who had consensually tasted his friend's breast milk) could answer that question. In his experience, it was a cross between "skim milk and coconut milk," and this ice cream tasted like neither. But, hey, not everyone's breast milk tastes the same, I'd imagine. 🍦 Our final rating: 8.2/10. If you want to try Frida's Breast Milk Ice Cream, you have until August 10 to get yourself a scoop at OddFellows' Dumbo location or order a pint online.

"Breast Milk" Flavored Ice Cream Hits the Market
There's a new 'breast milk' flavored Ice cream on the market. Who asked for this?! I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. Weird novelty flavors are nothing new and are often used for no other purpose than to generate buzz, and this next ice cream flavor roll out is no different. 'Frida and OddFellows' brands have partnered up to create, perhaps, the most natural ice cream flavor ever made. Yes, breast milk flavored ice cream is now available nationwide. Who asked for this? Apparently it tastes 'sweet, a little salty, smooth, with hints of honey and sprinkles of colostrum, and features a distinct colostrum yellow tinge.' Oh, yummy. But no, this ice cream doesn't contain any actual human breast milk, thank goodness. It just mimics it. Which leads me to question, how did the adult makers of this ice cream flavor know what breast milk tastes like? It may drive headlines and peak curiosity, but as for me? I'll stick to chocolate and vanilla! I'm Tomi Lahren and you can watch my show 'Tomi Lahren is Fearless' at Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

I tried breast milk-flavored ice cream and I liked it. Seriously.
Baby goods company Frida and OddFellows Ice Cream launched a breast milk-flavored ice cream. Of course, I had to try it. It was … surprisingly good? Have you ever tried breast milk, not even a sip? Well, if you're curious, a New York City-based ice cream brand, OddFellows, has your answer. In honor of National Breastfeeding Awareness Month, it teamed up with Frida, a baby and postpartum goods brand, to create the perfect scoop of breast milk-flavored ice cream. So, no, it doesn't actually contain human breast milk, but it does contain "a dash of colostrum," also known as "liquid gold." Human breast-milk products are not totally unheard of — mommy bloggers have shared ice cream recipes that they use for their children, and soap and lotion products are available to buy online — but it's not an area mainstream food brands have typically explored. I tried the limited-time-only flavor at OddFellows' location in Dumbo, Brooklyn, where it will be sold until August 10. If you're not in the area, Frida is also offering nationwide shipping by the pint (with a two-pint minimum) for $12.99 each. Let's dive in and see what breast milk ice cream really tastes like. I went to OddFellows to try its collaboration with baby-goods brand Frida: breast milk-inspired ice cream. On my way to the shop in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn, I saw advertising for the ice cream everywhere. Really, I couldn't miss it. And all that advertising is working — many media outlets have been covering this (what some would call) bizarre flavor. Source: USA Today Inside OddFellows, its commitment to the new flavor continued. I was surprised to see that the breast milk ice cream was a bright yellow-orange color, like marigolds. My scoop came with a wafer proclaiming that I had tried this innovation in ice cream. Surprisingly, it was pretty darn good. It tasted like sweet cream with a bit of honey mixed in. The hue is inspired by the colostrum inside the ice cream — that's the naturally occurring secretion that mammals produce first after giving birth. It contains protein, fat, carbs, magnesium, and vitamins, hence why it's called liquid gold. That nickname is another reason for the ice cream's shade, which is enhanced by food coloring. Source: Business Insider The ice cream isn't actually made from human breast milk. Instead, like almost every other ice cream, it comes from a cow. The ice cream is available to ship nationwide through Sunday, August 10. Would I get it again? Honestly, yes. It was creamy with a balance of salty and sweet. I'll skip the wafer proclaiming it's breast milk, though. Read the original article on Business Insider Solve the daily Crossword

Frida Unveils Breast Milk–Inspired Ice Cream
Frida, a baby products company known for inventive parenting solutions, has teamed up with Brooklyn-based ice cream maker OddFellows to launch a breast milk–flavored ice cream without including actual breast milk. Available nationwide through Aug. 10, the limited-edition flavor aims to mimic the real thing using cow's milk ingredients and nutrient-rich bovine colostrum powder. 'The flavor is freshly expressed and oddly familiar – sweet, salty, and smooth – with hints of honey,' Frida said in its announcement. The OddFellows ice cream features a pale yellow hue reminiscent of colostrum, the nutrient-packed early milk produced by mammals, and combines sweet and salty notes for what the brand calls a comforting yet unique taste. Frida says the creation is 'packed with similar nutrients to breast milk and formula,' including Omega-3s, lactose, protein, vitamins, and minerals. According to the company, it was developed after multiple tastings to perfect the balance of flavor and nutrition, making it a novelty treat. The Breast Milk Ice Cream can be sampled in person at an OddFellows pop-up location in Brooklyn, New York, or shipped nationwide via Founded in Sweden by a pediatric ear, nose, and throat doctor, Frida originally gained popularity by expanding into a wide range of maternal and baby care products before moving operations to the US. Now, with this unconventional OddFellows ice cream, the brand is leaning into playful innovation, and users online have been buzzing about it. Most notably, New York Knicks shooting guard Josh Hart lined up to try the Frida Breast Milk Ice Cream at its New York pop-up location. His taste test came after going viral 2 years ago for stating online that he had tried his 'significant other's breast milk.' Hart described in the clip — posted by New York Basketball — after trying the ice cream, 'I'm not gonna lie, it hits. Super sweet and kind of like vanilla… it's very accurate in terms of flavor of breast milk.' He continued, 'I hope my wife's not mad at me for saying there's a hint of salt.'
