  • I've tried three different flavors from this brand. They've all been good, but I think I would only get the original flavor again. The original one works well in teas. The chocolate and strawberry ones are good but simply not worth the price for me. I don't care much for dairy milk anyway, and I like plant milks way better. I do like that this brand offers dairy without the animal suffering, but it's simply not for me.

  • Tried the strawberry flavor non-animal dairy milk. The consistency is good, nothing off about that part. The flavor though is a little overbearing, tastes artificially super sweet. Love the packaging though!

  • I really liked this milk! I thought it was very tasty and had a really good texture. I’m not too picky about shelf stable milks as I really like most of them which this one is no exception! I would recommend!

  • Got to try their chocolate milk during NYC climate week on the High Line exposé and it tasted really good! It was creamy and flavorful (I was also starving and thirsty so that might have smth to do with how much I liked it...). Love that it's animal-free dairy milk yet still has milk protein since I despise the taste of whole milk.

  • Bored cow has some really great tasty alternative milks! I have also tried the small individual single servings and the 4 packs. I have tried the strawberry and the chocolate versions and while I don't love the flavor, I love the high protein. I have tried the original plain in the large container and I use it for cereal or when I make boba tea. It has a really decent amount of protein per serving!

  • I am a flexitarian of sorts so I try to make my favorites gluten free + plant based as much as I can. I love a good bowl of cereal and milk like everyone else but it’s a lot harder to enjoy since I don’t like pea, oat, rice, coconut, soy, almond or cashew milk. I’ve had much success with Silk next milk but it was discontinued; I was living my best life with Not Milk but it’s ALSO being discontinued…this led me to try Bored Cow, my last hope at a neutral tasting milk. I spent my birthday (Nov. 22) going across town just to purchase this stuff. I got 3 canisters of the original out at Central Market since it’s the only place In northwest Dallas that carries it. I got some EnviroKidz Gorilla Munch to go with it since it’s the healthiest alternative to Cap’n Crunch. The milk was great…..until it wasn’t. It kinda had a funky taste with my cereal upon first try that I DID NOT like. However, I tried to give myself some time to adjust and it was going well until I got to canister #2. At this point I’ve been enjoying my cereal and even used it in a gf + v banana pudding I made for Thanksgiving. No problem. Then, a couple of weeks ago (sometime early December) I made my bowl of cereal like usual and did a workout. About 3 hours later I started feeling nauseous and lightheaded which I attributed to not eating heavy enough for my workout…and I ended up expelling the milk & cereal from both ends in a Walmart bathroom. I thought ok, maybe it’s because the cereal was my only meal. Well today, December 19th, I tried to make some pancakes with it, and the same thing happened to me again: having the milk be expelled from both ends. Even regular milk and all the alternatives I’ve tried doesn’t do that to me! I suspect hit has something to do with the “fermented milk protein”. Unfortunately I gotta toss that last canister. And possibly find a drug dealer so that I can go back to Not Milk. Otherwise, alternative milks are just something I can’t buy anymore since there is literally the only one I loved.

  • I love the branding and mission, I did not like the taste of this milk. They are trying to emulate the taste of cow’s milk, but the taste is just very off and strange. I would say the taste resembles unsweetened soy milk or cow’s milk that was unsweetened and stale. Not sweet at all and weird taste. I love the innovation and how it’s animal-free dairy, but I think the taste needs to improve especially at its price point.

  • Bored cow has fully changed my ability to enjoy milk! As a vegan, I hadn’t had strawberry milk for years until bored cow was released. They recently changed their recipe and the milk is even more delicious! I’ve tried all the flavors and the OG and always keep some on hand

  • Bpred Cow Products are top-notch! The quality is outstanding, and everything I've tried is delicious and fresh. The flavors are rich, and the texture is always perfect, whether it's their dairy or other products. It's clear they focus on quality ingredients, and each item feels premium. Definitely a brand I trust and enjoy!

  • I like the creaminess of this alternative milk brand. I also like that they are a variety of stuff. I will try this again but in chocolate and strawberry!

  • Fell in love with the packaging on the shelf - unfortunately hated the taste. I will be sticking with my Minor Figures Oat Milk.

  • Love the mission, hate the taste. I got the sampler pack of all three flavors and there's just something off about all of them. I find them totally unpalatable in pretty much every application (straight, in cereal, as ice cream/milkshake, in recipes) they are just too sweet and have a very weird aftertaste that I cant put my finger on. Im a milk drinker who also enjoys non-dairy milks and this is just bad compared to either. I feel a little bad about being so harsh on this product, because I would love to support animal-free dairy, but given the choice, Id rather pay a lot less and just have oatmilk.

  • Sorry guys, I think Perfect Day is doing really great stuff in the precision fermentation field. Animal Free whey protein is something Im very curious about. And I think Brave Robot is good. But Bored Cow is not it.

    Branding makes me think they're marketing to children and children will probably like it because it's sickeningly sweet.

  • Bought chocolate milk and plain and I’m loving it! I don’t really drink dairy but having the added protein in shakes is really great! The plain flavor also froths really well for coffee.

  • My family is obsessed and says their chocolate and strawberry milks are the best
