Vitamix

Ingredients

¼ cup water
3 tbsp 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 1/2 cups frozen mango, 1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple, lemon slice (with the peel), maple syrup, and water. A personal favorite.

- Blueberry Peach Sorbet: 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries, 1 1/2 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 white grape juice concentrate and spinach. You'll need 1/2 a cup of frozen grape juice concentrate thawed, 1/2 a frozen banana, 1/2 cup frozen pineapple, 1/2-1 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! 🙂
