Let's just all agree that the most famous drink to come out of the Star Wars universe is blue milk.
For a refresher, the iconic drink first appeared in Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope in a scene where Luke Skywalker sits down for a meal with his Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen.
So when we heard you could ACTUALLY TRY BLUE MILK at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland, our faces went a little something like this as we raced down to the park:
Oh, and FYI, you can also get GREEN MILK, which Luke famously drank in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Our first thoughts when we saw the beautiful beverage IRL? "OMGGG!!!"
It's like a pretty sky blue smoothie?!
And here's what we found out the Blue Milk at Disneyland is actually made of:
-Coconut milk
-Rice milk
-Pineapple
-Dragon fruit
-Watermelon
-And a few other ~secret~ ingredients.
**Also, both the Blue and Green Milk are totally plant-based, lactose-free, gluten-friendly, and vegan-friendly.**
Basically, it's all stuff that's a lot more appetizing than something coming from an animal that looks like this:
Don't get us wrong, we love banthas, they just don't look like their milk would...taste...good?!
Brian was first to try it, and he thought it tasted like a delightful smoothie — though not as thick.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, especially since blue milk is such an iconic thing from the Star Wars universe. With that being said, I had high expectations…and, well, I was not disappointed. It was surprisingly refreshing (which now makes sense — perfect for a hot day on Tatooine) and not too sweet. The consistency reminded me of a horchata and it had subtle pineapple flavor (with some other flavors that were playing Jedi mind tricks with my head). I would definitely throw down some zemids for this!!!
Next was Crystal, and she thought it tasted like sherbet!
I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that the Blue Milk was NOT made from dairy milk (my body can't handle dairy, OK?!) and I was also impressed that it's entirely plant-based. The consistency reminded me of a smoothie, and the drink had a kind of sherbet-y flavor to it! It wasn't too sweet and I definitely picked up on the pineapple and tropical flavors. There's a slightly tart aftertaste, but that's probably just from all the real fruit used in this! Do I wish I could drink this every day? HECK YES. Will I be able to? HECK NO. Unless Disney plans on letting me live inside Galaxy's Edge... Dare to dream!
So what's the verdict? Blue Milk does a body good!
Brian: Whether you’re light-sided or dark-sided, you gotta try this at least once!!!
Crystal: Drink this only if you like delicious things!
Disneyland will offer Blue Milk (and Green Milk, which is a similar drink with just a bit more ~zing~) at the Milk Stand in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge starting May 31.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida will also have the drinks when Galaxy's Edge opens there on Aug. 29.
