I just tried it. It is supposed to be really close to the taste of milk. I'm not sure because I haven't had any milk in really long time, but the consistency was pretty close.
I drank some, and it was pretty tasty. Some reviewers said it had a strong pineapple flavor, but I could only taste a little sweetness.
I usually only use plant milks in recipes, cereal, and coffee, but this one was pretty good just to drink.
This is where AI technology comes in. Muchnick says that the company created an algorithm (nicknamed Guiseppe) that is able to analyze an extensive list of plant-based foods and pinpoint what sources have molecules that behave the same way as the molecules in milk. The findings are surprising: pineapple juice concentrate and cabbage juice concentrate are all crucial to the end result. "They really replicate the taste of cow's milk, which may sound [strange] but it's true," Muchnick says. "The combination of these ingredients together generates lactones that are similar to what milk has. Chicory root and coconut have this effect too," he adds, naming two other ingredients that are used in the NotMilks.

NotMilk Is the First Alt-Milk Made Using Artificial Intelligence—Here's What's in It
But does it measure up to oat milk?

What is NotMilk and how is it made?
Muchnick says that the first step to making NotMilk was figuring out what exactly cow's milk is like at a molecular level. "What molecules make it look, taste, and behave the way that it does?" he asks. "We had to understand it before we could replicate it."This is where AI technology comes in.
