Our Watermelon Peach Sorbet is a treat to the eyes and taste buds, with the extra benefit of nutrient density. Starring watermelon, one of the summer’s most beloved fruits, sweet peaches, and gut-healthy Peach Lifeway Kefir, this sorbet is a refreshing summer blend. Watermelon is a hydrating fruit that contains the antioxidant lycopene, which helps protect our skin from the sun and contains potassium to keep our muscles and hearts in tip-top shape. Peaches are a natural source of beta-carotene (vitamin A), vitamin C, and fiber, not to mention a delight to enjoy during summer. Enjoy this healthy sorbet full of good-for-you ingredients!
The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:
Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for better gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health. Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it triggers the release of GLP-1.
Lifeway Kefir also contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health: vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our kefir, we also offer our artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that’s easy to spread and contains no added salt for optimal heart-health benefits.
Prep Time: 2-5 Minutes Servings: 1-2Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh watermelon, cubed
- 1 cup frozen peaches
- 3/4 cup Lowfat Peach Kefir
- 1 tbsp. raw honey or raw agave nectar
- optional garnishes: fresh mint, fresh ginger slices, or other fresh herbs/spices of choice
Directions
- 1. Once the watermelon has been sliced and cut into cubes, place it in a reusable storage bag and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. You can also do this ahead the night before or just keep some in the freezer during watermelon season!
- 2. Once you have your frozen watermelon cubes, add those and the frozen peaches along with Lifeway Lowfat Peach Kefir and the honey or agave into a blender. Blend on low to start processing, then progress to high speed until a thick, sorbet consistency is reached. If your blender has a tamper, use it to help the process along.
- 3. Scoop the sorbet into small parfait glasses and garnish with fresh mint, ginger, or whatever your favorites are!
