FREEMILK, Animal-Free Dairy Milk, 32 oz Carton (Pack of 6), Lactose Free, 10g Protein per Serving, Alt Milk, Shelf Stable, Precision Fermentation, Vegan-Friendly

Great cow milk dupe. Finding a vegetarian milk alternative has been tough because I’m allergic to nuts and soy.I went to Whole Foods the day NotMilk came out. It was almost impossible to tell the difference between cow milk and NotMilk.NotMilk was purchased and became a shelf stable tetra pack. Even better. However, it’s been out of stock for almost a year. I had to find another option.I’ve since purchased different brands of pea protein based cow milk alternatives. Sproud and similar brands. They were okay. I wouldn’t drink a glass of it but it was good enough for cereal, coffee, and baking.I was about to reorder Sproud when I saw this product recommendation. The reviews were mixed. Some people hated it and others said it was great. One review specifically said it was like NotMilk. I figured it was ~$6 cheaper than Sproud, I would risk trying it out.Product arrived and was well-packaged. No leaks, etc.I immediately shook one of the tetra packs and tried it out.I thought the pack might have gone bad because the initial smell was weird in a bad way.However, I persevered through the initial strange smell and added it to my morning mug of hot black tea. It looked like milk, stirred like milk, foamed from shaking like milk, and didn’t smell weird anymore.Taste is fantastic!I’ve since used it in my heated milk frother for my husband’s coffee lattes. Comes out with perfect texture, froth, and foam. My husband thought I had gone back to cow milk.I’ve made scrambled eggs with it, used it baking desserts, macaroni & cheese, etc. I’ve even dunked Oreos in it and drank the rest of the glass afterwards.I’ve never experienced the weird smell again since that initial pack. It’s the closest to NotMilk that I’ve found. I don’t think most folks would be able to tell the difference.Strive FreeMilk foams and froths better, IMO. The price point is much better than the competition as well ($23.99 in 2/2025).If you liked NotMilk, don’t like nut or soy based alternatives, or miss cow milk, FreeMilk is the best I’ve found that’s available.

This stuff is great. It tastes a lot like regular milk in coffee. You can shake the container before pouring and get a nice foam to float on top of a cup of coffee too. I've missed using regular milk in my coffee for a long time and this makes my mornings feel complete again.It also works well in bread and other recipes. It has a good amount of protein, calcium and vitamin D too.

I saw a lot of reviews saying this made them sick, mainly questioning the non-dairy whey protein. I believe it made them sick, but I don't think it's because of the protein. It's probably because drinking this milk tastes like drink straight oil. It's gross. It could be palatable when used as an ingredient for something else, or even in cereal, but drinking it alone is awful.I don't understand the design choices behind it. There are tons of alternative milks, a few, like rice and oat milk, great in flavor but lacking in protein. Why not use one of those as a base and just add the protein? Seems like they tried and failed and reinventing the alternative milk wheel.

Adds great flavor to coffee and cereal.

We consume plant-based milk to reduce animal-based milk consumption, which is delicious, but its industry contributes to gas emissions greatly. We like to try new products so we bought this one. It is OK. Perfect to mix with coffee because it is very creamy. However is very plain, even for us who are accustomed to unsweetened plant-based milks, so we were surprised to notice that it has more sugar and carbohydrates than unsweetened soy milk. So we are going back to soy milk which is healthier and cheaper. But if you are only looking for milk for your coffee, you may want to try this product. It is good.

I think a review from a real "milk connoisseur" like me is the most valuable review. I've loved milk my whole life. I'm the type of person that MUST have milk w my cookies. All of the alternative milks i've tried (almond, soy, oat, etc) just WERE NOT MILK AT ALL. I think all of those alternatives are for people who aren't real milk lovers. The idea behind this Strive milk (cultured milk), is that they've found a way to create real milk without a cow - using fermentation with bacteria. I was skeptical - but instantly upon trying it it was real milk to me. Unbelievable. I can drink it straight and its milk to me. You do notice more sweetness like with lactose free. But it's milk. It's really milk.
