Fruity, frozen treats ALL contain sugar due to the natural sugar found in fruit called fructose. To minimize the amount of added sugar in fruity frozen treats, and boost the sweetness of your fruit dessert, add 2-3 Tablespoons of honey or agave nectar rather than ½-1 cups of white sugar in the effort to decrease the carbohydrate and calorie content of your dessert.
INGREDIENTS:
Ingredients:
Yield: 6 servings
1 pint of fresh blueberries, washed
3 Tablespoons of honey or agave nectar
2 Tablespoons of fresh squeeze lemon
½ cup of water
Optional: lemon zest for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend mixture until a smooth liquid consistency. Pour mixture into a tupperware container that can be sealed tightly. Place tupperware container in the freezer. Every 30 minutes for 2 hours, give the mixture a stir. After 2 hours, let the mixture sit until you are ready to serve. If the mixture is completely solid, let it defrost for 20 minutes or until you are able to scoop into your Icy Blueberry Sorbet! Optional: top your individual serving with lemon zest, vanilla yogurt and/or low-fat cool whip.
