I feel like we’ve talked about this but I don’t know where so if this needs to be merged just make sure I know how to get to it lol. Please.

Brave Robot | Animal-Free Ice Cream

Brave Robot is an animal-free, lactose-free, made with plants, dairy ice cream. It’s like magic if magic tasted amazing.

Are we ok with this ethically speaking? It’s supposedly not from an animal yet they say it is dairy.

I also just had Nick’s vegan ice cream before I realized it was also scientifically generated. I hope I don’t grow a third eye!!

PLANT DERIVED MOUTHFEEL​

The creaminess we love in ice cream normally comes from calorie-dense dairy fats. We use a plant-based alternative fat, called EPG, which gives our ice creams their irresistible, creamy mouthfeel, but with a dramatic reduction in calories. Fewer fat calories, yummy, creamy taste. How’s that for modern science!

Ice Cream Innovations - Swedish-style Light Ice Cream | Nick’s

Fewer calories, no added sugar, Keto and Paleo friendly, plant-based ingredients. Just becaue it's low calorie ice cream, doesn't mean it tastes like diet ice cream. This is CREAMY ice cream with only 4-7g of net carbs per serving.

It was discussed in this thread

Lab-grown dairy proteins

New Culture Foods has developed processes for producing actual dairy casein, without animals, using genetically-modified yeast. Casein is what makes dairy cheese stretchy - something that vegan cheeses don't yet do very well. The company will be conducting public taste tests this year...

Or this one.

Vegan But Not Dairy Free?

Well, we may need some new labels. this company is making milk proteins without cows. "Since these dairy products didn’t involve cow’s in the manufacturing process, just their genetic road map, the company classifies them as animal-free, plant-based, and vegan. But make no mistake, these...

Brave Robot is $4.99 at Fresh Thyme this week. I'm gonna get a tub tomorrow!
I wish this mozzerella instead . The only thing I miss from dairy ice cream is flavor variety-like waffle cone, tin roof, rocky road.
Even Brave Robot flavors aren't my thing> I'll probably try the raspberry

What did you think of Nick's ice cream? It's exactly the kind of dessert that would appeal to me.

It was good. I wouldn’t choose it over Ben and Jerry’s other than for the lower calorie aspect. The vegan Nick’s does not come out of the freezer soft, as advertised. It was rock hard. The texture is creamy only after you let it sit out awhile or microwave it then stir. And the taste is pretty good…for not having sugar. You know that’s not my thing. But I would buy it again if it wasn’t so expensive. It certainly satisfies the craving for ice cream. It is not available in stores though. Some flavors of the dairy version are.
I don’t find it much different than the Halo or Enlightened brands but it is a tad better in taste/texture.
