For the past year, in an effort to eat healthier I have almost crossed ice cream off the menu.
I broke that trend yesterday after reading Kid’s stuff (FT Week End) which covered 2 California ice-cream makers La Loo’s and Ici.
As I was jotting down my food shopping list, I found out that one of my local supermarkets (Kings) offered some of La Loo’s flavors on sale.
What attracted me most about La Loo’s was their use of goat milk which is said to be as close to mother’s milk as can be and local ingredients.
You rarely equate ice-cream with health.
There are a few things worth noting in La Loo’s Nutrition Facts.
They credit Goat Milk for offering a lower fat content, lessening issues (such as mucus) for people with breathing problems and being easier to digest.
What flavor did I end up buying you might ask?
It was the Raspberry Frozen Yogurt (my wife’s pick).
I was leaning towards the Black Mission Fig Ice Cream I have to say.
Tasted rich and creamy.
A bit pricey if you pay the full $7.99 retail price.
A possible treat for the Consumed to Thrifty at $3.99 (sale price).
