Strawberry and banana sorbet
Sorbet is a frozen desert made with fresh fruit, puree and fruit juice, usually blended with liquor, but mine is made with out any alcohol / liquor. I read an article where it said sorbets are healthier than ice creams as it has fresh fruit or juice in it. I tried making a sorbet with strawberry and banana today. So I am posting the method of preparation and I promise to share my other sorbet recipes as I am trying them out!!!
Ingredient:
Strawberries ( do not remove the steams) - 5
Half a banana
Slice of lime (one inch with skin as it adds a different taste to the sorbet)
Mint leaves- 3
Honey, sugar, nectar or any sweetener (one table spoon)
Ice cubes ( 1 cup)
Serves 1-2 people
Method of preparation:
Blend Strawberries, banana, slice of lime, mint leaves , any sweetener of your choice with a cup of ice for a minute at a high speed and serve it immediately before it melts.
*ideas :
Sorbets can be served before lunch/ dinners. Any fruit or fruit flavours can be added and you can top the frozen desert with whipped cream.
I recommend Agave nectar which is extracted from the heart of the agave plant, it slowly absorbs into the body preventing spikes in blood sugar. It is 25 % sweeter than sugar so you need less. You can pick it up from your favorite grocery stores shelf !
Enjoy the frozen desert!
