Strawberry Banana Sorbet
This healthy strawberry banana sorbet only has 4 easy ingredients and no added sugar. Enjoy when you are craving something sweet!
This recipe is a great way to enjoy something sweet but to be still eating healthy. What’s important is that it does not contain pre-packaged food…a much better choice for your health!
Just like this Healthy Dole Whip, this strawberry banana sorbet is not that hard to make and is very satisfying!
Healthy Strawberry Banana Sorbet
I don’t know about you, but sweets are usually the downfall of my diets. When I crave something sweet I sometimes cave and indulge in ice cream or a float. They are so good – and sweet frozen treats can be so refreshing too.
That’s why this recipe is such a lifesaver for me. I know you will appreciate it too! Instead of something with tons of sugar, I blended whole ingredients together for a classic frozen snack.
The best part is that this sorbet is actually good for you too! Strawberries are extremely high in vitamin C (hello immune system boost!) and bananas are known for their high levels of manganese (so good for your skin).
Plus, this sorbet is packed with fiber which is fantastic for your gut health. Eat up and enjoy a treat that won’t veer your eating plan off course.
Smoothie Or Sorbet – What’s The Difference?
I call this recipe a sorbet, but these are the same exact ingredients in a strawberry banana smoothie. So what is the difference? The purest definition of a sorbet is fresh fruit with sugar. Some people make sorbet with fruit juice and sugar and freeze it.
Even though it sounds the same, sherbet is not the same thing at all. It’s made with dairy (usually cream or ice cream of some sort).
The main reason I called it a sorbet is because I froze the entire mixture in a loaf pan and scooped it out like ice cream. It tastes just like frozen yogurt – without the dairy!
My recipe’s ingredients really do closely resemble a fruit smoothie. A fruit smoothie is basically fruit pureed with some sort of milk (I used almond milk).
Weight Watchers Sorbet Points

If you are following Weight Watchers you know you are not supposed to drink your points. In other words, if you freeze this and eat it with a spoon it is 0 points and if you drink it is a lot of points on WW!
It’s a psychological thing…and I get it…if you eat food instead of drinking the same ingredients it is more filling or more satisfying to the brain that you ate the food item. That’s why I never drink my calories.
How To Store Leftover Sorbet
If you have any leftover sorbet, I suggest pouring it into some sort of ice cream cube tray or another shaped silicone mold. This way, when you want to enjoy a sorbet again, you just have to pop out a few more pieces of it and let it thaw a little bit. It’s so much easier to serve yourself a sorbet later.
