Offer us a lolli-pop, popsicle or fruity frozen yogurt and ask us what flavor we want, we’ll likely say strawberry. It’s been our dessert flavor of choice (chocolate not included!—we’re talking fruity flavors 🙂 ) since we were kids. And when the fresh fruit itself is in front of us, it’s definitely one of our faves—and our taste buds picked them long before we knew that they are so waistline friendly (only 40 calories in an entire sweet cup!) and that they’re packed with phytonutrients to fight disease, fiber (to fill you and keep you regular and your belly flatter by helping to prevent constipation) and vitamin C to help boost immunity and aid in collagen formation for elastic, younger-looking skin. So, it’s no surprise that you’ll find them in so many of our waistline friendly desserts like our Skinny Homemade Strawberry – Mint “Ice Cream, Strawberry Banana Breakfast Cookies, and Vanilla Pine-ana Strawberry Smoothie
As you can probably imagine when we learned that May is the month dedicated to all things strawberry, National Strawberry Month, we knew we had to celebrate! So we created this refreshing Strawberry Raspberry Lime Sherbet.
Strawberry Raspberry Lime Sherbet
Serves: 6
Ingredients
2 cups chopped strawberries (you can use raspberries as an alternative, as we did in the photo above–or feel free to use a cup of each, yum!)
1 Tbsp Stevia or sweetener of choice
3/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt or fat % of your choice (the higher the fat, the creamier it will be—just keep in mind the calories will be higher too).
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Directions
- Place berries and stevia into blender and process until smooth.
- Add yogurt and blend. And then once mixture is well-blended, add lime juice and blend in.
- Chill mixture, covered, 1 hour and then serve. If you leave this in the freezer longer, it will freeze solid, so simply remove from the freezer allow to sit out for several minutes and then place in the blender. Blend and then serve. .
- Enjoy!!
