Cool off this summer with refreshing Lemon Lime Green Grape Sorbet. With only 4 ingredients, this recipe is so easy to make! Just combine the ingredients in a blender or food processor, and you have a beautiful dessert or a nutritious snack for the kids ready in seconds!
Sweetened naturally with honey, this sorbet is a delicious and healthy way to hydrate and beat the heat. For another easy, refreshing summer dessert, try my Frozen Blueberry Cottage Cheese Bark.
The key to making this sorbet is having frozen grapes ready in your freezer. I find that we don't always finish a package of grapes before they get soft, so I like to freeze a portion right away. They are refreshing to munch on straight from the freezer and will also be ready whenever you decide to make this sorbet.
