Loving Spoonful

Kov Foods

Last time you served up sundaes, it led to a run on stomach churning.

If dairy leaves her belly in knots, maybe it’s time to give Kōv a try.

Created by a local mom, the products are nondairy, vegan, kosher, and soy free. Treat her to a pint of garden mint chocolate or ginger vanilla ice cream. They’re flavors that kids (and adults) will love, plus they’re sweetened with agave syrup, so the dreaded crash-and-burn sugar rush is history.

Making it udderly delicious.

Available at Essene Market & Cafe, 719 South Fourth Street (215-922-1146 or essenemarket.com); Whole Foods, 929 South Street (215-733-9788 or wholefoodsmarket.com). For more information, go to kovfoods.com.
