I like to have dessert after a long run on a hot day sometimes.- specifically sorbet. I know what you’re thinking, sorbet after a run as a way to rehydrate and refuel? Is that healthy? It certainly can be when it is nutritious and made simply from organic fruits! Instead of opening my freezer, and scooping some out of a container which was bought at the store (since most of that stuff is not raw, and is filled with sugar), I make some myself in less than 10 minutes! It is simply, amazing.
Today I am sharing two flavors, “Strawberry Cherry” and “Black and Blueberry”. With only fresh fruit as your ingredients, along with a good blender, this could be ready for you to indulge in, in minutes! I suggest layering the sorbets with more fresh fruit since it is simply delicious. When enjoying this I feel like I am eating a beautiful dessert, yet it takes almost no time to make and cools me off as well as energizes me! Do yourself a favor and try it out! Play around with other fruit combinations as well from what you have on hand!
Ingredients:
Serves 1-2
Strawberry Cherry Sorbet
- 1 large frozen banana, chopped
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup frozen cherries
- Stevia to taste (or your choice liquid raw sweetener)
Black and Blueberry Sorbet
- 1 large frozen banana, chopped
- 1 cup frozen blackberries
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- Stevia to taste (or your choice liquid raw sweetener)
- Fresh berries and cherries for topping
Directions:
- In a high-speed blender, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth, using the tamper to press the mixture into the blades until all combined and thick.
- Top with your fresh berries and cherries. Freeze to harden or enjoy right away because they will melt fast on a hot day!
- Note. You can use a food processor if you do not have a high-speed blender, but you will have to stop it and scrape it down and will take a bit longer.
