Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Frozen fruit (e.g., mango, berries, or pineapple)
- 1 medium Banana (ripe, frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon or lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 0.25 cup Water or coconut water
Instructions
1. If you haven't already, freeze your fruit ahead of time. Ensure that the fruit is cut into small chunks before freezing for easier blending.
2. Place the frozen fruit and frozen banana in a high-speed blender or food processor.
3. Add the lemon or lime juice and 1/4 cup of water or coconut water to help the blending process.
4. Blend on high, stopping periodically to scrape down the sides and stir as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water or coconut water at a time until smooth.
5. Taste the sorbet and, if desired, add honey or maple syrup for additional sweetness. Blend again briefly to combine.
6. Once the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container.
7. For a firmer texture, place the container in the freezer for 1-2 hours before serving. For a softer, scoopable texture, serve immediately.
8. Scoop into bowls, garnish with fresh fruit or mint leaves if desired, and enjoy!
