Get the Scoop on Healthy Frozen Treats You Can Make at Home
Who doesn’t enjoy a sweet frozen treat on a sweltering summer day? Between ice cream trucks and free-for-all fro-yo bars, it’s easy to go overboard. Luckily, there are many healthy alternatives to your go-to frozen dessert that you can make at home with just a few natural ingredients.
Fruity Sorbets
Sorbets are so easy to make — all you need is frozen fruit, water, and your run-of-the-mill blender or food processor. By using ripe and naturally sweet fruits you can avoid the need for additional sweeteners. Blueberries, strawberries, mangos, bananas, and pineapples are all great options! Mix and match fruits to create your sorbet flavor of choice. Consider adding vanilla, honey, seeds, or fresh herbs for a burst of exotic flavor.
