An easy recipe for Vitamix sorbet using fresh lime juice, pineapple, banana, mint, and spinach whipped up in flash in a Vitamix blender. This recipe is simple, refreshing, and delicious. You'd never know that it's made with spinach!
I have had a blast playing around with my Vitamix since I got it last August. I am always looking for new recipes and ways to utilize its great features. This Lime Mint Vitamix Sorbet was a huge hit!
The beautiful green color comes, not from the lime, but from the spinach in this dessert. This is a kid-friendly recipe and a great way to sneak some extra greens into your diet. Also, this is dairy-free, so a great frozen treat for people, like me, who are lactose intolerant.
How To Make Sorbet In A Vitamix
All you need is a few simple ingredients.
- Frozen grape juice concentrate
- Banana
- Fresh or frozen pineapple
- Fresh baby spinach leaves
- Fresh lime
- Fresh mint
- Ice
Add the ingredients to the blender in the order listed.
Blend on high for 45 seconds to 1 minute, using the tamper to blend well. When the sound of the machine changes and 4 mounds appear, the sorbet is ready to serve. Enjoy immediately, garnishing with fresh lime slices, if desired.

Tried something similar at a vitamix demo at local Whole Earth grocery...only he used apple juice instead of grape, a bit more mint (that might be a personal taste thing?)...STILL amazing! This recipe is def on my keeper list, and my friend who was with me is eager to get a vitamix of her own!

Eldheni, sounds great! I'll have to try your version, too with the apple juice and additional mint.

You should add your ice in last if you want to prolong the life of your machine! A good rule of thumb for Vitamix recipes is add the softest ingredients first and the hardest ingredients last... I make this sorbet in my demonstrations and it also works really well with avocado.

thank you for the great tip!

Hello, this is a fantastic recipe!
Just wanted to let you know that some people will read your ingredient list and pick up Grape Juice Concentrate (which is dark purple) instead of White Grape Juice Concentrate, and the color will be off-putting. Also, just an FYI - I've tried both apple and white grape, and prefer the white grape.
THANKS for sharing the recipe!
