Coconut Watermelon Mango Sorbet (No added sugar)

One of my favorite things this Summer is creating yummy sorbets with watermelon. I have never explored all the things you can do with frozen watermelon until now. Love it! Especially for the fat that you dont need added sugar most of the time just the natural sweetness of the fruit. Which is an added bonus. 

One of my other favorite things lately is riding a bike. It is amazing how much more I can see than when I walk. We live in such a beautiful world. It is so pretty around here. I noticed the colors are just barely starting to change. Love it!

5 T canned coconut milk (Chilled)

Directions

1. Put all the ingredients into the blender and pulse and stir until it turns into a smooth consistency.

Melon Sorbet (no added sugar)

So I was eating some delicious cantaloupe this morning. It was so sweet. I realized I needed to eat more of it before the season ends. I went on an evening walk last night. Love Love loved. Summer is slipping by way too fast. I also came up with the idea for this recipe as I was eating it. The flavors combined are wonderful. Yum! this is a healthier version of the shave ice that is so popular. No added sugar. Shave ice is way too sweet for me. The best way to make it is with nice naturally sweet melons. Guilt free refreshing treat.  Enjoy Summer!

Watermelon Smoothie

My grandson came over today wearing a backpack that held a piece of watermelon and some grapes in some containers. He told me that they were for a smoothie that he wanted me to make. I had some more watermelon and we added extra fruit to it as well. (We didn't end up putting in the grapes. I forgot.) It turned out good! I loved that it didn't have any added sugar. The best part is my "picky eating" grandson drank his whole glass. Success! :) Happy Summer!
