Strawberry-Mango-Banana Summer Sorbet!

My old blender just retired. Poor thing has been worked to the bone for 9 1/2 years now and it was time for a new one. I can't believe it lasted that long! So last week my Mom and I headed to Costco and bought me a shiny new one and now I'm obsesed with making all things blended!!

I've always been a little hesitant to make sorbet for some reason but I'm not sure why. It was SO EASY to make! It made a healthy summer dessert for my kids. I think one of the greatest things about this recipe is that you can mess around with it and add in whatever fresh or frozen fruit you have on hand to make a super yummy sorbet. Here's what I used and how I made it:

Strawberry-Mango-Banana Summer Sorbet:
Ingredients:
  • 1 bag frozen strawberries (about 10 oz)
  • 1-2 fresh bananas, depending on how banana-y you like it :)
  • 1 ripe, fresh mango, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice
  • 1/3 cup agave syrup
Directions:
Add all the ingredients into your blender and blend until smooth but don't overblend! Pour into a chilled metal container and freeze until firm. Scoop, serve and enjoy! Seriously, does it get any easier?!

I am a sorbet-aholic. Well, I only eat it like twice a year, but when I do, I love it. I will have to make this when summer actually comes around.
