Brooke Harris is the Founder &amp; CEO of Goodmylk Co. While living in L.A., the supposed “health food capital” of the U.S., Brooke’s health deteriorated for a period of time. Brooke decided to turn to an alternative, plant-based diet as a form of healing medicine.   But to her surprise, she found her effort to ‘eat healthier’ was actually making her sicker. Through research, Brooke found that many of the binders, thickeners, emulsifiers and preservatives in otherwise “healthy” food were unnecessary and unhealthy. It was then that Brooke realized that she would have to create that ‘something better’.   Brooke began to experiment with real food recipes that led to her own health transformation, and she wanted to share her passion with others.   She went on to create GOODMYLKCO., a game-changing, industry disrupting plant-based milk product for the masses. Of course, it was not all smooth-sailing. When Brooke initially presented her idea to industry insiders and investors, it was met with skepticism on all fronts.   They told her there is ‘good reason’ companies with scale do things a certain way (read:compromise the integrity of the product). For Brooke, this was not an option. She was hellbent on better.   After many months of trial and error, Brooke finally developed a proprietary flash-blast freezing technique that allowed her to scale without compromising the nutritional integrity or flavor of her plant milks. And now, GOODMYLKCO. plant milks will soon be available nationwide.

#186: Brooke Harris, Founder & CEO of Goodmylk Co., a Game-Changing, Industry-Disrupting Plant-Based Milk Product for the Masses

We’re speaking today with Brooke Harris, founder of Goodmylk Co.,  a Los Angeles based sustainable, organic, and fresh alternative milk company. Brooke is peeling back the curtains of alternative milks: a lot of the options on the market now are full of strange gums, artificial flavoring or other unmentionables, in nearly-impossible-to-recycle containers. Brooke takes us through her own whole food wellness journey, and how her homemade almond milk experiment became a full-blown, wildly innovative beverage company. Brooke is candid in discussing challenges and finding creative solutions to stay true to her mission of only using simple, pure ingredients. We also discuss hemp milk, how cafes can cut waste, and where the mylk industry is going. Connect with me on Instagram, @ecochicpodcast + Facebook ECO CHIC Podcast.

101: Plant-Based Entrepreneurship, Sustainable Supply Chains, Whole Food Wellness | Brooke Harris, Goodmylk Co.

Goodmylk Co. founder Brooke Harris is on a mission to bring truly good food to the world. And like many mission-based companies, Brooke’s is driven by a personal experience that left her asking, “Why isn’t there something better?” Goodmylk Co. makes real “alt-mylks” with only the good stuff, and nothing else. No chemicals, no binders, no fillers and—above all—no compromises.

Elevate Your Brand with Brooke Harris of Goodmylk Co.

“I feel this deep responsibility as someone who is feeding people to be feeding them real food and to be really transparent about what we’re feeding them... We want to prove that you don’t have to compromise your products and you don’t have to compromise the health of your consumers to be a successful business.” — Brooke Harris, Founder of Goodmylk Co. In this episode Brooke and I chat about:  The health and wellness journey (and struggles) that led her to launch Goodmylk Co. Growing up on a dairy farm in upstate New York. The importance of creating a product with pure, organic and real food ingredients and being completely transparent about the ingredients being used. The difference between raw and pasteurized almonds (and what pasteurized means). The confusion around food labels and the lack of transparency in the food industry. The controversy around the sustainability of almond milk and why she believes hemp milk will be the future of nut milk. Her entrepreneurial challenges and her “one” true talent in life. Sustainable packaging and so much more!  This was such a wonderful conversation. Happy listening! Connect with Goodmylk Co. Instagram Facebook Twitter
