Equipment

  • Vitamix

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup water
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup go with a good quality maple syrup (see post for sweetener alternatives)
  • ½ slice lemon you can also use lime, orange, or grapefruit (with the rind). You only need a small, thin, slice. Too much will make it bitter.
  • 3 cups frozen fruit

Instructions

  • Put all ingredients into the blender in order listed.  
  • Blend on high for 45 seconds to 1 minute, pressing down with tamper to blend well.  When the machine sound changes and four mounds form, the sorbet is ready to serve. 
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Here's what you need to make my top 3 flavors:
    • Tropical Fruit Sorbet: 1 ½ cups frozen mango, 1 ½ cups frozen pineapple, lemon slice (with the peel), maple syrup, and water. A personal favorite. 
    • Blueberry Peach Sorbet: 1 ½ cups frozen blueberries, 1 ½ cups frozen peaches, lemon slice (with the peel), maple syrup, and water. It’s worth noting that I do add an extra ½-1 tablespoon of maple syrup since blueberries and peaches aren’t as sweet as tropical fruits.
    • Lime Mint Sorbet: This recipe deviates from the base recipe since it uses grape juice concentrate and spinach. You'll need ½ a cup of frozen grape juice concentrate thawed, ½ a frozen banana, ½ cup frozen pineapple, ½-1 cup of fresh spinach leaves, a small lime slice (with the peel), 1 mint leaf, and 3 cups of ice. This flavor is actually inspired by the sorbet recipe I received at a demo that convinced me to purchase a Vitamix in the first place! 🙂
