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. 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. 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.

Breast milk-flavored ice cream hits the market. Where can you buy a scoop?
At one point or another, most of us have tried breast milk as babies, though few remember how it tastes. So Frida Mom and OddFellows Ice Cream partnered together to jog our memories — like it or not — with a strangely familiar taste: breast milk-flavored ice cream. 'Our ice cream is lightly sweet, a little salty, with hints of honey and a dash of colostrum,' Frida Mom says in a description online. And, no, it's not really made with human breast milk. But the ingredients mimic the sweet, salty, creamy and umami flavors of real breast milk. A pop-up location opened at OddFellows Ice Cream at 44 Water Street in Brooklyn, New York City, where curious buyers can try a spoonful for themselves. The pop-up will run from Aug. 5 to Aug. 10. Free scoops are also being given from noon to 1 p.m. daily 'while supplies last,' Frida Mom said in an Instagram post. Anyone can order the 14-ounce tub of the oddly nostalgic sweet treat online for $12.99. It can be shipped to any state in the U.S. except Alaska and Hawaii. Dozens of people turned to Frida Mom's Instagram comments to share how they feel about breast milk-flavored ice cream. 'They turned the liquid gold into ICE CREAM !?!?' one person commented. 'Isn't all ice cream technically breast milk,' someone else said. 'So it's just … cow breast milk? A little relieved and a little mad,' one person said. 'I hear Oreos are good for milk production ☺️ in case you want to throw in some flavors,' another person wrote.k
