Vegan Raspberry Banana Sorbet

As the days get hotter and hotter, baking popovers for snack won’t really cut it anymore. Nowadays, if I can avoid baking, I’ll do it. No bake foods and cool treats are on the menu for me. That’s why I love making this raspberry banana sorbet. It takes less than 5 minutes to prepare, which I absolutely love, and you literally only need 5 ingredients to make a delicious snack or dessert to help you beat the heat.

So what are those five ingredients you ask? Apple juice, a banana, baby carrots, raspberries, and ice. I always recommend organic ingredients if you can get them. The raspberries are going to need to be frozen, as this helps the dish be a sorbet instead of a fruit drink. You can get organic frozen raspberries in the freezer aisle of your local health food store, like Whole Foods. 

I usually just blend everything but the ice first (mostly to break down those carrots) and once everything’s all smooth and happy, I add the ice a 1/2 cup at a time. You can add more or less ice to your liking, but 1 1/2 cups of ice works best for me.

    Hi Margaret Anne, I recently found out that baby carrots (store bought ones) are bleached with a chlorine bath in the cleaning process (the EPA says it’s safe). I would try your recipe and use a full size organic carrot.. I wouldn’t give baby carrots to children either.

      Thanks for letting me know Nancy. I didn’t know that about baby carrots, so I will definitely be using organic full size carrots (or home-grown carrots) in the future.

    I love that this uses carrots. A fun little way to get another vegetable into my kids (and husband!). Thanks for linking up at Simple Meals Friday. Your photographs are gorgeous!
