Mango, Strawberry & Choco Banana Sorbet

During summer most of us prefer having ice cream to beat the heat, but store bought ice creams are full of fat, refined sugars and other nasty ingredients. Sorbet is a healthy version and quite inexpensive option which you can easily make at home. Sorbet is usually made with fruit and is almost always dairy- and fat-free. Here I have used only 2 ingredients; fresh seasonal fruits and for sweetener honey. So you can enjoy this delicacy guilt free.And yes, if you are vegan you can use maple syrup instead of honey.

Also it is very easy to make.The hardest part will be to wait for it to chill in the freezer, and believe me, you will want to eat it soon! Mango and strawberry sorbet is creamy, smooth, sweet and just slightly tangy whereas banana sorbet is creamy, smooth and very sweet, it’s just like eating creamy frozen fruit dessert.
