    NotMilk is Not Milk, but AI Says it Tastes Just Like It

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on February 12, 2023 Dairy-Free Milk Substitute Reviews, Product Reviews

    Updated February 2023! Are you ready for technology to make your dairy alternatives instead of people? NotCo, a self-proclaimed tech company out of Chile, launched NotMilk in the U.S. market. It’s not milk, but it was created to deliver a taste and texture that replicates dairy-based milk. So it isn’t milk, but it’s supposed to fool our taste buds. How do they do it? NotCo has developed proprietary artificial intelligence and machine-learning algorithms to create formulas that mimic animal-based foods using plant-based ingredients. In other words, AI created the NotMilk recipe instead of a chef or food scientist.

    NotMilk Reviews and Info - Whole Milk and 2% Milk alternatives created by tech company NotCo using Artificial Intelligence. Dairy-free, Gluten-free, Vegan.

    NotMilk is Not Milk, but AI Says it Tastes Just Like It

    NotCo received backing from several prominent venture capitalists, including Jeff Bezos. So it isn’t surprising that NotMilk is launching first in Whole Foods stores. It now comes in three varieties, each of which helps to fill a half-full niche for slightly richer milk alternatives. The ingredients are quite similar to Ripple Plant Milk, but with a few interesting additions, like pineapple and cabbage juices.

    But despite the “perfection” of AI, NotCo reformulated their popular NotMilk, beginning in 2021, and continuing through 2022. The new formula is now fully rolled out, and has been met with mixed reviews, which you can read below. What did they change? Primarily, they removed the coconut and the chicory root. This reduced the fat, calories, fiber, and some say, the richness in the flavor. It also made some of those “odd” ingredients a bit more prominent. The new formulas have a white cap, while the old formulas had black caps. Our information and images below reflect the new details and packaging.

    NotMilk NYC is Now Nuthatch

    There was another company called NotMilk NYC. They’ve been around longer, but NotMilk from NotCo does has a trademark on the name, so they were forced to change their name. NotMilk NYC is now Nuthatch. Nuthatch is small-batch nut milk produced by real hands with simple whole food ingredients. NotMilk from NotCo is mass produced with technology for a mainstream appeal and price point. The post above is for NotCo’s product.

    Smells so much lime the real one

    Rated 5 out of 5
    March 18, 2023

    I think the overall taste, consistency and smell is so much like the real deal, so that’s a good thing. So if you have had regular milk your entire life then it’s a no brainer definitely go and try it out. But if like me you’ve only had not dairy milks for quite some time, maybe like me you’ll find it hard to drink, i really wanted to like it but since the smell is very much like the cow milk i find it hard to drink.

    Delicious Plant Based Alternative

    I’m impressed, really. First one we saw available in Puerto Rico was the chocolate and it’s really, really tasty. Then came across the whole red label container and I’m even more impressed. My new favorite Plant Based milk alternative.

    2% NotMilk Formula Change

    Rated 1 out of 5
    February 25, 2023

    The 2% version now uses a mix of vegetable oil to include canola oil! 2nd ingredient looks like this: Vegetable Oil (Sunflower and/or Safflower and/or Canola Oil). It doesn’t just say sunflower oil anymore. The ingredients on the NotMilk site is not accurate. The taste used to be better before this change. It no longer tastes good.

    I tried Not Milk a year ago and was addicted to it. February I seen they carried it in store and first thing I noticed was that it just plain didn not taste the same. Then I realized the ingredients changed. I had purchased the cold and shelf stable. I was shocked to see the cold non-shelf stable Not Milk had “soluble corn fiber”. I cannot have corn products. It seems they took out the good ingredients and replaced with cheap fillers I don’t want. I will not repurchase this. I dumped it down the drain.

    The ingredients have changed again on NotMilk as of December 2022

    I loved the original formula & ingredients list. However I recently bought Whole NotMilk as of Dec 2022 and the second ingredient listed is Vegetable Oil. The color is no longer white, it’s off white like Oat Milk. The flavor doesn’t like milk either. Sad they went with worse ingredients in turn making the product unsavory.

    Noticed the change in the 2% NotMilk carton we got. As soon as I tasted it and the thickness, I knew it was off. Thought we got a bad one but dates were good. We bought one yesterday I knew something wasn’t right. I googled if there was a change. I’m so mad!!! 2% NotMilk was the closest to dairy milk I ever had! Now I have to move on and find a replacement. You had a good thing NotMilk!! 🙁

    ALMOST total trash IMO

    First it is basically ALL seed oil which is Omega 6 oil and very unhealthy. Second it has no nutritional value that isn’t synthetic. Lastly it doesn’t foam at all, so if you like matcha or coffee lattes, pass on this product. And BTW, it does NOT taste like milk. It tastes like sunflower oil. However I did give an extra star because at least it is not GMO and it does not taste bad …if you drink it fast you will not notice the sunflower taste.

    Originally Not Milk had a milk-like consistency and flavor so close to whole dairy milk, it was amazing and I would have given it 5 stars. Perfect in my coffee, on cereal, for cooking and baking and even as a glass of milk just for sipping. But I knew, immediately, not only had the cap changed (much improved), but with the first sip, I was terribly disappointed to discover they’d changed their ingredients. The consistency is too thick now, and there is an “emptiness” in the flavor that it seems the thickness is trying to compensate for. I will no longer go out of my way to find Not Milk. Any oat milk will do, which is what I’d been using until I discovered the original Not Milk. So sad🙁. They messed with a good thing.
