Paleo Fruity Sorbet
Sorbet Social, Anyone?
A pint of ice cream typically has 20-30g of sugar per ½ cup (and really, who eats just 1/2 cup of ice cream?). Since most of us are eating more than 1/2 cup, it's easy to consume 40-60g of sugar (or more) in one sweet treat.
A great substitute for ice-cream socials during hot weather is our paleo fruity sorbet. The fruit provides natural sugars to curb anyone's “sweet tooth”, along with vitamin C and antioxidants (not found in ice cream). This paleo sorbet is soy and dairy-free, so it can be enjoyed by friends with lactose or soy sensitivities.
