Watermelon Sorbet Recipe

Watermelon Sorbet

I like a cold sweet treat in the summer, and children definitely love a cold sweet treat all year long. As a mom and preschool teacher, it is important to me to teach the children how to enjoy the sweetness of natural fruit while they are young. This way they do not develop an addiction to sugar. Which in turn could affect them negatively in their youth, and later in their adulthood. One of my favorite treats is Italian ice. I love how it tastes creamy and fruity and becomes an even better sweet as it melts.

Ingredients

Fill the cup to the line with watermelon cubes
1 Tablespoon real lemon juice
2 tablespoons Raw honey Optional
Optional - replace some watermelon cubes with cut strawberries or peeled cherries
½ cup juice from a can of pears

Instructions

First, you simply freeze your ingredients in the supplied container. Then, put the container in the Ninja CREAMi/Blender/Food Processor, press a button, and voila your sweet treat - with no sugar - is ready.

Notes

After putting this in the machine consider adding this to a large pretty cup, adding a bit of pomegranate juice, 1 can of Zevia Cream soda and 2 tablespoons of cream vodka! This one is for adults only!
