I never would have thought I’d be eating ice cream made in a science lab but here we are!

Science does its magic, and the result is the non-animal whey protein, or ‘dairy,’ that is used in Brave Robot Ice Cream. To spare you the scientific details, Perfect Day is essentially made in a lab by fermenting microflora (which contains the same genetic blueprint as typical whey protein) with plant sugars. Non-animal whey protein is the same whey you’d find in cow’s milk, except zero cows are involved.” “ We use Perfect Day non-animal whey protein to make Brave Robot Ice Cream. I try not to get distracted by the bright blues and purples jumping off the screen and head straight for the FAQs: Massive, swirled ice cream scoop moons and planets in a galactic world cover the screen – a futuristic galaxy made purely of ice cream. I’m brought to the Brave Robot website and there is an explosion of color. I took a closer look at the packaging… “Better with Perfect Day.” I immediately needed to know more and pulled out my phone for a rapid Google frenzy in the middle of the ice cream aisle. There is just something missing… literally.īut then I came across Brave Robot – made with the dairy we know and love, yet it’s… animal-free? But how? More importantly, how have I never heard of this before, and could it be as good as the real thing? It leaves you with a feeling of wanting more.

I’ve tried almost all of the dairy alternatives when it comes to ice cream – almond or oat, cashew or coconut – and I must say, they usually don’t hit the sweet spot the way a typical, creamy, dairy-based ice cream does.
