Why You’ll Love this Strawberry Sorbet

• Loaded with fresh strawberries. I mean who doesn't love vibrant, sweet, and utterly succulent strawberries? They are low in calories and are one of nature's antioxidant powerhouses. And like most fruits, they have tons of nutrients, vitamins and minerals that all contribute to overall health. I love making it during strawberry season after picking fresh strawberries from our local farm. It's seriously the best!

Since the main ingredient in this strawberry sorbet is strawberries, this fruit sorbet is a mostly healthy, nutritious dessert packed with essential nutrients and antioxidants. It’s also vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free, and even though it has some sugar, it is still one of the healthiest dessert options out there.
• It’s so easy to make. After making this strawberry sorbet once, you’ll want to keep a batch in the freezer all the time. Why? Because it’s seriously so easy to make with just 5 minutes of prep. You simply combine your ingredients in a blender and puree. Then, let your freezer do the rest and in a few hours you can scoop out a bowl of this refreshing dessert.
• You might have everything you need already. This strawberry sorbet consists of three simple ingredients along with water: strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar. It's all you need for a sweet and delicious treat on a hot summer day. You might want to double this recipe because there won't be much left once you have had a taste.

Ingredient Notes

To make this easy 3-ingredient strawberry sorbet, you will need a blender, and the following ingredients (full quantities in recipe card below):

• strawberries - you will need fresh strawberries for this sorbet recipe. You can also substitute with frozen. If using frozen, your sorbet will be ready faster.
• lemon juice
• granulated sugar - sugar is really important because it is what gives the sorbet its creamy texture. Without it, you will have a large frozen popsicle. The pureed mixture will taste quite sweet, but freezing will dull the sweetness. For a refined sugar free option, you can try this with honey (but be mindful that the texture might not be exactly the same).
• water
• sliced strawberries - optional, for garnish.

For a creamy and milkier sorbet, add in 1 cup yogurt.
