Homemade Berry Sorbet

This post contains affiliate links to things that we have.

This homemade berry sorbet is a favorite in our house!  There is nothing better than playing outside with the kids and coming in to have this sorbet (by the way- it drives my wife crazy when I call it sorbet instead of sherbet)

We try to make it at least once a week, when the berries are fresh.   We make it as a family (because when we make anything from cookies to Guacamole, everyone wants to help) so its just a little more family time, which is definitely something that the kids need as much as the grown-ups.

My wife and I try to be good examples for our kids.  We try to show them that making the healthy choice really isn’t that hard.  We go to the gym, we try to drink water, we make healthy choices, but we also indulge and show them that you can do both.   It isn’t about losing weight or eating only a certain type of food.  It is just about making BETTER choices.   Fresh berry sorbet instead of candy ice-cream is one small change.  (not to say that we don’t still eat the candy ice cream, too- we do! We just try to have this one more often than the other.)   We have four young children watching our every move and we need to show them through example.

This homemade berry sorbet is a great (refreshing) option for our kids and for us, too.   Its great for spring and summer.

It is really easy, too!
