Brave Robot was a brand of vegan ice cream made using Perfect Day's synthesized milk proteins. [2] [3] It had no lactose, but does include synthetic molecules reproducing those found in milk.

The ice cream came in 8 flavors: Raspberry White Truffle, Blueberry Pie, A Lot of Chocolate, Peanut Butter 'n Fudge, Hazelnut Chocolate Chunk, Buttery Pecan, Vanilla 'n Cookies, and Vanilla. [4]

By the end of 2021, the company had sold one million pints of ice-cream. [5] By 2022 the product was available in 8000 stores across the USA. [6]

In 2023, the company's parent group, The Urgent Company, was bought by Superlatus; [7] Superlatus announced plans for Brave Robot to launch a line of pulse protein snacks in 2024.
