In an unexpected twist, popular baby brand Frida is introducing a breast milk-flavored ice cream. The unique treat is part of the celebration for the release of the brand’s new Frida Mom 2-in-1 Manual Breast Pump, offering a fun way for consumers to experience a flavor that many have wondered about but haven’t dared to try: What does breast milk taste like?
While the ice cream doesn’t contain actual breast milk—due to USDA regulations—the flavor is crafted to closely mimic the sweet, creamy, and nutrient-packed essence of the real thing. According to Frida, the ice cream has a sweet and nutty taste with a subtle salty hint, designed to replicate the natural flavor profile of breast milk.
In a nod to its source of inspiration, the ice cream is fortified with nutrients commonly found in breast milk, such as Omega-3 fats, carbohydrates, and energy-boosting lactose. It also includes essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, vitamins B and D, and zinc.
The concept of breast milk has gained attention beyond the baby food aisle, with studies showing that 70% of women have tasted their own breast milk, and 29% of men have expressed interest in trying it. Celebrities such as Kourtney Kardashian have publicly shared their experiences with drinking their own breast milk for health benefits. Model Ashley Graham has also revealed that she has tried hers multiple times. Additionally, Bravo’s Paige DeSorbo recently admitted to tasting castmate Lindsay Hubbard’s breast milk, even stating a preference for it over other milk types.
Frida’s new ice cream offers a lighthearted way to explore the growing trend around breast milk, bringing a fun and nutritious treat to the market for adventurous taste testers.
