| A New Ilk of Milk The luscious, creamy taste of Laloo’s goat milk ice cream and frozen yogurt has been converting taste buds across the country. It doesn’t hurt that the stuff has fewer calories and more calcium than its cow counterpart. The newest flavors are Raspberry and Brownie & Clyde. $5.99-$6.99 at Whole Foods and Wild Oats. |

| Chocolate with Heart Divine Chocolate bars are fairly delicious, and fairly traded. They’re produced in a farmer-owned cooperative in Ghana. The money you spend on them helps build schools and provide health care for cocoa farm workers. Our personal pick: a dark chocolate with crunchy mint crystals. $1.20-$3.75 at Mustard Seed Market and Ten Thousand Villages, in Cleveland and Akron. |

| Go Nuts
Pistachios are packed with protein, vitamins and antioxidants. Plus, they’re fun to eat, especially with these four roasts from Everybody’s Nuts — European, Salted, Unsalted, and Salt & Pepper. Each box has a comic strip featuring “Stach,” the pistachio that will have you cracking up while cracking shells. $3.99 at Giant Eagle and Heinen’s.
