Assorted Fruit Sorbets

Well, as most of my friends and family know I have started to eat a lot more healthy while striving to lose weight in the process. And as summer kicks in in Texas, we usually stock our freezer filled with different types of ice creams. I got to checking the labels and realized that one serving of some of our favorite flavors was like eating a WHOLE meal for me. I need something with more nutrition and less sugar and calories for us to snack on.

With that I started check out homemade ice cream and sorbet recipes... almost every single one of them had 3 egg yolks, whole milk and at least a half a cup of sugar in them.

There had to be a healthier solution!

So, I got in my kitchen and started playing around and I came up with these egg free, sugar free, low calorie and very healthy solutions that are not only great tasting but super easy to make as I always keep my food processor on the counter anyway!

We've made peach and mixed berry so far. Right now I have blackberries that were on sale this week for 77 cents a pint flash freezing for us to make tonight. And with the summer fruit sales and this recipe, we could have sorbet every night for dessert without any guilt what so ever!
