Secret’s Out: Breast Milk Ice Cream Hits Shelves

Wait… breast milk ice cream? 🤯

You read that right. A pint just landed on doorsteps that tastes like the stuff you haven’t sipped since onesies were your daily drip. Before you gag or grab, know this: zero human pumps were harmed in the making. Frida (yep, the postpartum brand moms swear by) teamed up with Brooklyn cult-fave OddFellows to bottle the flavor—minus the awkward Craigslist ads for “liquid gold.” Curious? Grossed out? Both? Let’s lick the lid off every rumor.

What’s actually inside the pint?

No mompreneurs hooked to machines. Instead, a lab-coat chef swapped lactating humans for: Milk & heavy cream (old-school dairy) Salted caramel & honey syrup (sweet tooth approved) Liposomal bovine colostrum (fancy cow “first milk” for that authentic tangy kick) A dash of yellow coloring—think newborn diaper, but appetizing The result? A sweet-salty swirl with faint honey and a custardy richness that tricks your brain into thinking, “Hey, this might be mom’s.” Minus the 2 a.m. feedings.

Where to snag a scoop—stat

Online: Frida’s website ships nationwide—$12.99 a pint, but you’ve gotta grab two. (Sharing is caring…or hoarding.) Brooklyn Pop-Up: OddFellows DUMBO, Aug 5-10. FREE scoops noon–1 p.m. Wed Aug 6 & Sun Aug 10. Line forms fast—strollers welcome. Secret menu hack: Ask for the “Mommy & Me” sundae—half breast milk, half cereal milk. Staff will grin; Instagram will explode. 

Why breast milk flavor—seriously?

Blame celebrity TikTok. When Kourtney, Ashley Graham, and Coco Austin all admitted to tasting their own, the internet shrieked, “We want in!” Frida’s R&D team heard the chaos and thought, “Let’s make it socially acceptable.” “Flavor memories are powerful,” says sensory scientist Dr. Emily Vuong, UC Davis. “Colostrum’s subtle sweetness triggers comfort receptors—no breastfeeding required.” (source) Translation: it’s nostalgia on a spoon, minus the backstory you’d rather forget.

Taste test—brutally honest

We handed spoons to five unsuspecting coworkers. Reactions ranged from “tastes like cereal milk left in the bowl” to “why is this so addictive?” One lactose-intolerant friend devoured half a pint with zero regrets. If salted caramel and vanilla custard had a baby, then rolled in powdered nostalgia, this is it.

Quick-fire FAQ

Is it safe for lactose-intolerant folks?

It’s dairy-based—sorry, tummy rebels. Stick to coconut ice cream.

Can pregnant women eat it?

Yup. Pasteurized dairy + colostrum = totally fine.

Will it stick around?

Limited run. Once the PR buzz fades, so will the flavor.

Pro tips before you click “add to cart”

Flash-freeze your pint 20 min upon arrival—texture goes from velvet to gelato. Pair with sea-salt crackers—the sweet-salty combo is criminal. Snap a pic under warm light; the yellow tint is so Instagrammable.
