Remember when all we had to do was spoon (not force!) puréed fruits and veggies into eager mouths? Now bigger kids know what they want. And what they want is ice cream.

Coming to the rescue of health conscious moms are two locally-made, nutritious but delicious alternatives to the more fattening original.

With loads of handmade flavors, even the pickiest is sure to find their favorite with Gelatos. This rich gourmet treat is also healthy – with 80% less fat and half the calories of traditional American ice cream.

For those with dietary restrictions, NadoMoo has created a dairy/gluten free ice cream. Packed with organic ingredients, it’s all of the indulgence and none of the guilt.

Let them scoop, or they’ll all scream for you know what.

Both available at Central Market.
