How Do You Design Non-Dairy Products That Look & Taste Just Like Dairy?

Published

A mistake people sometimes make when trying dairy-free milk is thinking that the beverage will taste like good old-fashioned cow’s milk.

While milk alternatives are delicious in their own right, they have an entirely different consistency, mouthfeel, and flavor—with options like almond milk tasting nuttier or oat milk tasting more, well, oat-y.

That is why Danone’s Nextmilk from Silk and Wondermilk frozen desserts from So Delicious might just change the dairy-free milk scene for good. Consumers get all the benefits of non-dairy milk (less fat content and kinder to animals, for instance), all while drinking something formulated to look and taste incredibly close to the real thing. Or, in the case of So Delicious, they can indulge in a pint of ice cream-less ice cream.
