Frida, the brand preparing parents for the reality of parenthood, launched its new two-in-one manual breast pump with a conversation-starting Breast Milk Ice Cream. The limited-edition breast milk-flavored ice cream contains no actual human milk and is likened to cereal milk or melted vanilla soft serve with sweet, salty, nutty notes.
Created to faithfully recreate the taste of real breast milk without actually using the real ingredient, Frida's Breast Milk Ice Cream promises to satisfy late-night cravings and help the body refuel with a nutritional profile similar to breast milk and formula—it boasts brain-boosting omega-3s, lactose, protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Curiously launched just ahead of April Fool's Day, the Breast Milk Ice Cream is being teased with a nine-month wait, mirroring the timeline of a full-term pregnancy, all while building buzz around the brand and its latest breast pump launch.
