“I loved all the flavors! The vanilla was the best vanilla milk i ever had, and it froths and foams as good as cow’s milk, if not better. The strawberry took me back to an old memory of when I was a child. And the chocolate tastes like an improved version of Nesquik. Highly recommend!”
Mohammed A
“I like them all but I am especially happy with the vanilla. Because I would not use animal products, I needed something to have with my oats and this is perfect, sweet enough and creamy. Just what I was looking for!”
Maria B
“Fun lactose free option! Chocolate is especially good with some cold brew coffee concentrate mixed in it. Much more nutrient dense than making cold brew with plant milk like I usually do!”
Christina H
“Ever since becoming vegan many years ago, I’ve sought out a plant-based analog for strawberry milk. Thanks to Bored Cow, my search is over! It’s the smooth strawberry flavor I remember, only cruelty-free!!! I’m so grateful!”

WHAT DOES BORED COW TASTE LIKE?
Join the movement
Bored cows make happy humans
Made by invisible cows
How can Bored Cow 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’ called microflora 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, animals, and the planet.
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.
Who is Perfect Day?
Perfect Day is a California-based food technology company that has pioneered a process called precision fermentation, which harnesses the power of nature to produce milk protein (whey) without cows. This makes it possible to make dairy products like ice cream, cream cheese, and milk without exploiting or harming a single animal. That’s good news for cows, but it’s even better news for us, and the planet.
How is this different from other milk alternatives on the market?
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!
Can I consume Bored Cow if I’m lactose intolerant?
Yes! The only “dairy” ingredient in Bored Cow is non-animal whey protein, which means our products are 100% lactose free.
Can I consume Bored Cow if I have a milk allergy?
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.
Are there any other allergens I should know about?
Bored Cow is gluten-free and nut free*, and contains no soy or grain allergens. You can find a complete list of ingredients on the nutrition panel on our product page. *Bored Cow is produced in a facility that processes nuts
Is Bored Cow shelf stable?
Yes! Animal-free dairy is aseptic and ultra-filtered, which means it’s shelf stable at room temperature for 6+ months. That allows us to ship Bored Cow without energy-intensive refrigeration. It also means you can store your backups in your pantry. Just make sure you refrigerate it before consuming, because it’s way better cold.
Does Bored Cow contain GMOs?
Bored Cow does not contain any GMOs. Our partners at Perfect Day teach microflora to make milk protein using a genetic ‘recipe’ for cow’s milk. However, the microflora are filtered out during the production process, leaving nothing but pure, animal-free whey at the end. It’s why you won’t find a bioengineered label on any Bored Cow products!

Tasty heated and cold with chocolate chip cookies.
I think I finally found a substitute for cow’s milk that tastes good and supplies me with the calcium and protein I need. Can’t wait to try your strawberry milk I ordered. Thank you helping the planet.

Close to a replacement, needs some "fuzz"
Hi all!
Thanks for making the milk! I found it to be palatable, and just barely into replacement territory, but a little too clinical. It feels like it's missing "one cow got into the onion patch" or some other set of "fuzzy" flavors that move it away from just being milk flavor.
Unsure if it's helpful (I am not a food scientist), but there's an analogy to musical synthesizers as a synthesizer nerd. Old synthesizers were made from analog parts, which would detune a bit when they get warm, and otherwise be just a bit noisy and not be perfect transmitters of signal. When digital ones initially came out, people said they sounded "cold" and "clinical" too - and it was figured out that people actually like hearing just a tiny bit of fuzz and detune. Newer digital synths added features to add noise and detune and dial it up and down in order to replicate that quality of the original analog machines.
Sorry for the strange analogy, but I feel like that's sort of what this milk is missing - that little bit of imperfection that makes it taste just a little "off", and I assume comes from the fact that all the cows are eating slightly different things and it's causing a bit of flavor drift. Notably, when soothing the burn of hot sauce, I don't notice anything - so it's definitely well within range of "oh it's just milk."
Anyway, I'll be trying to strawberry and chocolate varieties as well. Thanks for making something awesome!
P.S.: I'm actually a little worried that if I switched…
Hi Marshall, thanks for the feedback and for the fun analogy! We appreciate the kind words as well. We never thought of putting Bored Cow through a hot sauce extinguisher test – we'll have to add that to our product testing!

No cow? No problem!
Utterly fantastic cow’s milk alternative! Would be impossible to tell the difference in a blind taste test. Using it in coffee, cereal, smoothies, and just a cup o’ milk! Also great you can buy the stuff in quantity and store it at room temp. Thanks, Bored Cow, you’ve weaned us of the old stuff!
Welcome to the Bored side of life, Evan 😎 Thanks for your review!

Mixed bag
It tastes good (like if whole milk married parmalat) and looks the part. Drinking it alone or in cereal is a win, and it's very filling. But it curdles immediately in warm drinks. Even in weak coffee, tea, and chicory.
Hi Tamar, thank you for providing feedback! It's extremely valuable to us. Like some other milk alternatives on the market, separation can occur depending on the acidity and temperature of the coffee or tea you're using. We’ve shared this with our product development team, as we’re always looking to improve!
