Bored Cow or Almond Milk?

Don’t get us wrong — we love plant-based milk, including almond milk. Unfortunately, many milk alternatives lack the flavor, texture, and/or nutrition that makes traditional dairy milk so popular. Before you go to the grocery store and pick up your favorite almond milk, come learn about the benefits of animal-free dairy milk for your body and your tastebuds (not to mention the planet)!

health & nutrition

Like Bored Cow’s animal-free dairy milk, most almond milks are fortified with Calcium, Vitamin D, and Vitamin A. Unfortunately, almonds contain little protein, which means most almond milks have 1g of protein or less per cup. By contrast, Bored Cow contains 8g of real, animal-free milk protein per cup. Flavored almond milk also tends to contain a lot of sugar: around 17g-18g per cup. Bored Cow, on the other hand, has 0g of total sugars per cup. Did we mention it's cholesterol free, and an excellent source of Vitamin B2?

flavor & texture

If you've had almond milk before, you probably agree that it doesn't exactly match the flavor or texture real milk. You may also notice a nutty aftertaste, and it may seem more watery than traditional dairy milk. Bored Cow was designed to look, feel, and taste exactly like the real thing. There’s no nuttiness or watery texture here — just a rich, creamy, delicious, animal-free dairy milk.

impact & sustainability

We believe all plant milks are better for the planet than traditional dairy, but doesn’t mean they're all created equal. Almond milk has one of the lowest CO2 footprints of all the milk alternatives, but almond trees are a notoriously thirsty crop (one estimate found that a single almond requires ~12 liters of water to produce). By contrast, Bored Cow’s animal-free whey protein requires up to 99% less water than whey protein from cow’s milk. We also get our fat from sunflower seeds, which require over 15x less water than almonds.

How Bored Cow Is Made

You may be wondering, "how can something be ‘animal-free’ and ‘dairy’ at the same time?" The secret is fermentation, one of nature’s most magical processes. Imagine a microscopic dairy farm where invisible ‘cows’ chow down on plant sugar, and turn it into real milk protein. It's a new way of making dairy that's better for people, kinder to animals, and easier on the planet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the questions you ask most!

It’s real dairy, made without a cow! Our friends at Perfect Day figured out how to make milk protein using fermentation, one of nature’s most magical processes. Imagine a microscopic dairy farm where invisible “cows” chow down on plant sugar, and turn it into whey. It’s a new way of making dairy products that doesn’t require a single animal! Once we have our non-animal whey protein, we add plant-based ingredients that replicate the rich, creamy flavor of dairy. Then we supercharge it with the vitamins and minerals you’d expect to find in a dairy product: calcium, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. The end result is vegan-friendly dairy that looks, feels, tastes, and acts just like the real thing.

You can find a complete list of ingredients on the nutrition panel on our product page.

No! While our animal-free dairy milk is lactose free, hormone free, and cruelty free, it is NOT dairy free. The non-animal whey protein we use is identical to the whey protein found in traditional cow’s milk. So, if you have a milk protein allergy, you’ll need to avoid animal-free dairy milk, just as you would any other conventional dairy product.

Yes! The only “dairy” ingredient in Bored Cow is non-animal whey protein, which means our products are 100% lactose free.

Animal-free dairy milk is a brand new category of milk alternative that offers the best of both worlds! It has the taste, texture, and nutritional profile of traditional dairy milk, and the environmental and animal welfare benefits of plant-based milk alternatives. You’ve never had a milk alternative like it!

No one person or company can solve the climate crisis on their own. However, we believe individual actions add up, especially in the United States, where we are responsible for 25% of the world’s historic carbon emissions, and where we continue to be one of the planet’s top emitters today. By making the choice to consume more climate-conscious products, while also advocating for radical system change, we can tip the scales against Big Dairy (and Big Meat and Big Oil) once and for all!
