Homemade Fruit Sorbet Recipe

{Pin It}

As temperatures start to warm up, this fresh fruit sorbet recipe will hit the spot. It is a great palette cleanser, a perfect light dessert, and much healthier than store bought. This literally tastes like biting int a fresh, ripe piece of fruit – but even better. PLUS you can feel good about giving this to the kids on a hot day over an unhealthy scoop of processed ice cream.

My favorite combination is Cantaloupe but you can also use; Honeydew, Watermelon, Peaches, Mango’s, or Strawberries. Use whatever is fresh and in season for optimum flavor.

This recipe has basically no Weight Watchers points except for the sugar.  Read below to see an alternative to make this a super low point value treat.

Weight Watchers Points:

• Total for the entire recipe = 14 SmartPoints and 6 PointsPlus

This would be a zero to 1 point recipe if Splenda was subbed for the sugar as Splenda has no points.  The only points beside the sugar are 0.75 SmartPoints and 0.25 PointsPlus for the coconut water.
