Meet the Crew

  • Daisy

    “Seize the moo-ment!”

    Daisy the Dairy Cow is a whole lotta’ Holstein! In Nevada, most of our dairy cows are Holsteins, but she knows how to stand out. Can’t you tell by her color?

    As the mother of all things dairy, Daisy truly is our hero – it all starts with her. She’s a free spirit and loves to roam. She’s passionate about her well-being and sticks to a healthy diet (how else is she going to have the energy to take care of all these Doodles?)

    Strengths Include

    Protein: Helps build and repair muscle tissue.

    Calcium: Helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth.

    Vitamin D: Helps promote the absorption of calcium.

  • Phil

    “I’m a glass-half-full kinda guy.”

    Phil is way more than just a glass of milk! As the fearless leader of the Dairy Doodles — he’s pure in heart AND free of antibiotics. He is a clever modern-day philosopher with big dreams and believes that the world isn’t so complex if you just take it one sip at a time.

    Phil works very well with others and is a key ingredient to a balanced and nutritious diet. He’s very close to his mother, Daisy, and works with her to spread the moos about dairy and all of its many benefits.

    Strengths Include

    Protein: Helps build and repair muscle tissue.

    Calcium: Helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth.

    Vitamin D: Helps promote the absorption of calcium.

    Recipes

  • Pat

    “Let me butter you up!”

    Pat’s daily routine can be exhausting, but that’s what happens when you’re rich! The room needs to be perfectly temperature-controlled for him to have a good day. If it’s too hot, he’ll have a meltdown, and if it’s too cold, he’s hardly able to move!

    Even though he’s a stickler for the perfect temperature, he’s pretty easy to smooth over. He’s a very busy guy and works with people all over the world to help them create “legend-dairy” dishes. He’s very close with his sister Margie, too. He doesn’t mind sharing the spotlight and likes when they get to tag-team cooking and baking projects together. Pat’s all about spreading the love!

    Strengths Include

    Essential Fatty Acids: Support brain health and a functioning nervous system.

    Recipes

  • Sara

    “Say, Cheese!”

    Although Sara is one of the oldest Dairy Doodles, she’s only gotten better with age. And while she’s sophisticated, she can’t help but be cheesy. Her friends make her melt when they’re together, and she just thinks that’s grate. For us, it doesn’t get any cheddar than when she’s smiling, laughing, and being the life of the party.

    Sara’s very cheesy-going, and reminds us that it’s best to brie yourself. It’s one of the many reasons why she’s so loved and popular. You’ll often see her taking pictures and saying… you guessed it – “say cheese!”

    Strengths Include

    Protein: Helps build and repair muscle tissue.

    Calcium: Helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth.

    Phosphorous: Helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth.

    Recipes

  • Coney

    “I’ve got the inside scoop.”

    Coney loves to entertain. Her friends say when she enters the room life gets more joyful for everyone, especially when she shows off her favorite dance move, The Swirl.

    Originally from Coney Island, she loves amusement parks, birthday parties, parades, and sandwiches. What people don’t know about Coney is that once upon a time, she was a budding fashion designer from the House of Cone. Back then, she embraced her love to accessorize (she just loved sprinkling her own flavor onto everything) while jamming out to “Sunshine of Your Love.” (Cream has always been one of her favorite artists).

    Recipes

  • Yogi

    “Sophisticated and cultured, what’s not to love?”

    Yogi is a Doodle that really embodies his culture. Fun yet sophisticated, Yogi is a smooth talker with a bright and inviting personality. A true rockstar, Yogi balances his hip lifestyle with healthy choices to keep him in shape (it’s all about balance!).

    Often the center of attention, he’s not afraid to let his creativity shine and try something new whenever he gets the chance. He really knows how to play well with others and has quite a diverse friend group! You’ll usually find him hanging out with Betty & Berry (they like to stir things up together).

    Strengths Include

    Protein: Helps build and repair muscle tissue.

    Calcium: Helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth.

    Potassium: Helps regulate the body’s fluid balance.

    Recipes

  • Pebbles

    “Welcome to the Breakfast Club”

    Pebbles has always been top-shelf! She’s known for her sweet side and everyone—from the Captain to the Toucan—looked up to her for advice on how to get their boxes picked for breakfast.

    While she loved being with her friends in the grocery store, she always felt like there was more out there that she needed to explore, so she set out on an adventure beyond the aisles, and that’s where she met Phil!

    Phil really knows how to make everyone feel welcome, but these two are just meant to be! Phil and Pebbles make each other better and are the perfect pair when it comes to breakfast.

    Strengths Include

    Phosphorous: Helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth.

    Zinc: Helps maintain a healthy immune system.

    Selenium: Helps maintain a healthy immune system.

    Recipes

  • Coco

    “Earning brownie points is my specialty!”

    Some people might call her a bit of a square, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! Coco Brownie may have a crunchy exterior, but she’s a big softie on the inside and just as sweet as could be.

    Coco is the definition of a rising star but couldn’t do it without Barley, Pat, and Shelly—they’re the true recipe for her success and she wouldn’t be here without them! As the life of the party, she loves to treat herself. In fact, that’s how she met Phil! Coco and Phil have been partners in yum ever since that birthday bash way back when and she couldn’t be happier to be a part of the Doodles.

  • Cal C. Yum

    “I can’t contain myself”

    Endeared by milkmen and milkwomen around the world, Cal C. Yum, also known as Lil’ Sip, has recently reached internet stardom with his last hit single “Shaken Not Stirred,” and is even in talks with Betty & Berry about featuring on their new album as well!

    While the publicity Lil’ Sip has received from this release has been exciting, he’s not one to pop his top over his first 15-minutes of fame (he really knows how to keep himself contained).

    Because he’s a hometown character and prefers to be around his family and friends, he makes sure to stop in and reconnect with his original crew as often as he can, especially Daisy, Phil, and Pebbles.

    Strengths Include

    Protein: Helps build and repair muscle tissue.

    Calcium: Helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth.

    Vitamin D: Helps promote the absorption of calcium.

    Recipes

  • Buzz

    “Everything I brew, I brew for you!”

    Buzz is up at the crack of dawn and can get a bit hyper, but Phil and Cal C. Yum help him keep it light. He has a LATTE energy and loves to work out at the gym with Sara and Rob. They connect on fitness and fashion, but mostly they love to work the rumor mill and discuss the current “happenings” of the Dairy Doodles.

    Buzz works during the day in the editorial department for Wired Magazine as an editor for their foodie column and pulls a lot of late nights, but as fast as he moves, he really doesn’t need much sleep (as you probably already guessed).

    Recipes

  • Piper

    “No strings attached.”

    The best part of every lunch box, Piper is more than popular, she’s just plain admired. While she can be pulled apart very easily, that doesn’t mean she isn’t whole, it’s just because she likes to share!

    She loves cosplay (her favorite character is a mustache). A vibrant and happy Doodle, she knows she’s a snack, but she’ll never string you along. You will typically find her hanging out with Mac; they just really balance each other out.

    Strengths Include

    Protein: Helps build and repair muscle tissue.

    Calcium: Helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth.

    Phosphorous: Helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth.

    Recipes

  • Mr. Crumb

    “A chip on your shoulder doesn’t have to be a bad thing!”

    Don’t be fooled by Mr. Crumb’s rough exterior, he’s anything but flat or dry! Being raised in the heat left him with a lot of freckles on his face, but he wears them with pride, and is a sweetie for sure! Mr. Crumb tends to spend most of his time with Phil, but he’s been known to partner with Coco and Coney at parties.

    Mr. Crumb is very fond of Phil and Cal C. Yum, but every once in a while, he gets to spend time with Piper at school and bring a smile to a very excited child as they open their lunchbox.

    Recipes

  • Shelly

    “I can crack you up!”

    Shelly is known for making morning eggs-tra special. She is a practical yolk-er and can put a smile on anyone’s face! Reliable, well-rounded, and versatile, she’s part of many friend groups. Whether she’s running, sunning, or just taking it easy, Shelly is an important part of a balanced breakfast (or dinner!).

    Shelly, Coco, and Pat have worked events together for years and continue to entertain at a wide variety of shows and parties.

    Recipes

  • Rob

    “I love Broc n Roll.”

    It’s been a hard-knock life for Broccoli Rob. He’s often the last thing left on the plate and people are constantly picking him apart — but he never lets it get him down.

    He’s dealt with his fair share of green-shaming, but it doesn’t weaken his resolve. Plus, it doesn’t happen as much when he’s back home on the Ranch or with his buddies, butter and cheese.

    Deep down, Broccoli Rob just want people to see him as a valued member of the crew.

    The most eco-conscious of the group (alongside Rob), Bella regularly composts, considers herself quite the outdoors-woman, and is all about keeping the peace among the Dairy Doodles. Because after all, what are friends spore?

    “Are you jelly?”

    Teddy, or Ted for short, is soft but passionate about his beliefs. He cares a lot about the environment, because — hey, man, our environment, like, changes us, man. He views himself as open-minded and strongly opinionated, and others might say he’s downright crunchy when he gets stuck in a heated debate.

    Ted usually pops up at breakfast, but he’s been known to stop in for lunch, too. He made headlines when he had a hit collaboration with Millennial avocados. And, while he is usually invited to the party, he tends to hang with Lil Pat.

    Potassium: Helps regulate the body’s fluid balance.

    Recipes

  • Mac

    “I’ll be the apple of your eye.”

    What can we say about this wonderful Doodle that hasn’t already been said? He’s been a part of our core memories for as long as we can remember. He keeps the doctor away, loves to play with Yogi and Phil, and is a great source of essential nutrients.

    His claim to fame was his partnership with Steve Jobs. Through hard work, dedication, and many beach ball-filled nights, Steve developed the first Macintosh computer, fondly named after his dear partner Mac, who supported him throughout his journey.

    Chandler’s favorite season is summer. He believes that life is short and you should make it sweet! He has a happy disposition and loves to bounce around.

    Potassium: Helps regulate the body’s fluid balance.

    Recipes

  • Kevin

    “Life’s better with bacon.”

    Founder and producer at PanChedda Records, Kevin’s a natural-born leader. He knows how to complement others, and is a mean negotiator.

    Sometimes he comes off a bit salty with his crispy sense of humor, but all-in-all, he’s a real crowd-pleaser. When he’s not managing a Doodle’s blossoming music career, you’ll find him lounging around and a-sizzlin’ by the (grease) pool.

    Recipes

  • Julienne

    “I’m rooting for you!”

    Julienne is always rooting for you. She knows that everyone comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes—because she does, too—and she thinks it’s something we should all embrace! Julienne is optimistic, caring, and loves to cut loose, but she always stays grounded! She knows that life is about balance.
