The plant-based ice cream products are offered in classic flavors like Vanilla and A Lot of Chocolate, as well as other fun favorites like PB 'N Fudge and Raspberry White Truffle that promise to satisfy a sweet tooth with only plant-based organic and fair trade natural ingredients. The brand's ice cream products are not made with alternative ingredients, rather a unique [animal-free whey protein](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strive-freemilk) that's touted as a "new, next-generation approach to making dairy itself" featuring a secret ingredient made by Perfect Day. While the product offers the ethical and environmental benefits of popular plant-based frozen desserts, Brave Robot boasts a familiar ice cream dessert experience, yet without the hormones and factory farming.
