Summer and ice cream go together like peanut butter and jelly or cookies and milk. When you're trying to eat healthy though, it just doesn't cut it to sit on the side nibbling carrots while everybody else is enjoying a big bowl of cold creamy, ice cream goodness. This recipe right here is the answer to all of summer ice cream dilemmas. It goes way beyond good. Because I'm kind of a nerd, I looked up "good" in the thesaurus to see what they had to offer. I think they nailed it - marvelous, satisfying, shipshape, rad, splendid, gratifying, stupendous, super-excellent, superior, tip-top, spanking. Okay, and we'll stop right there with spanking. Not sure where they were going with that. After eating this there is not a single ounce of me thinking, "I wish I had eaten some real ice cream instead". The only thing I'm thinking is, "I wish I had made more!" And my kids are head over hills in love with it too. They can't get enough! And you can eat it and fill your kids up on it, guilt free because it's healthy too! It's quick and easy to make. You just need to plan ahead a little and freeze your watermelon cubes. I can make 4-5 batches of sorbet with that one watermelon. So, let's review. Tastes amazing and is loved by all, mixes up in five minutes and it's healthy! I must insist you go make this marvelous, satisfying, super-excellent treat. Now. Your summer will be glad you did!
4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed and frozen
2 cups strawberries, frozen
2-4 TBS stevia or other natural sweetner
1/2 cup cold water
1 TBS lemon juice, or to taste
Place all ingredients in blender. Mix until smooth and well blended. Add a little more water, a few tablespoons at a time, if it is too thick to mix. Serve immediately or store in freezer in an airtight container for up to a month. If freezing, let it soften for a few minutes before enjoying!
