The next best alternative to ice cream? Easy to make homemade sorbet. (fresh fruits)

 

Probably one of the best desserts you can eat yet is tremendously good for you is Sorbet. It is a frozen dessert made from iced fruit puree and any other ingredient you would like to add for a light dessert.  It is sort of a gelato that has no milk in it so is very good for lactose free individuals or milk allergies.  Some sorbets contain alcohol that lowers the freezing temperature and makes it slightly softer.  It is very dense and flavorful, matching ice cream for quality and taste.  The Villa Dolce, makers of Italian gelato, are one of the best producers of sorbet on the web.

 

Sorbet has a history behind it that says the Roman Emperor, Nero, invented it during the first century AD.  The story said Nero had runners along the Appian way, passing buckets of snow to the mountains to his banquet hall, where it was mixed with honey and wine.  Other countries also laid claim to the original invention, but the mixture of snow, juice and fruit pulp is delicious.  The French served it traditionally between the starter course and the main course, and is served as a non-fat and vegan alternative to ice cream.

 

Sorbet is made from water, and fruit puree.  It is an excellent source of Calcium and Vitamin C, and is naturally fat free and low in calories.  They make excellent fruit smoothies and are good for you in health aspects. They would be similar to fruit whips where you put ice, fruit, and some light flavoring in a blender to whip a light and airy, non dairy drink.  Very tasty, natural, and healthy.

why this is not a fad diet?

  Eating raw fruits and vegetables isn’t the new fad diet, or the new South Beach Diet.   Believe it or not, humans have been eating this way long before they were eating processed junky foods.   We didn’t have access to most types of foods.   We were scavengers, picking fruits and eating vegetables were a delicacy.   Nuts were also eaten for protein.   It was either that or starve.   Humans ate these fruits as is, no additives, no cooking.   One and a half million years ago we learned how to cook.   So for a half million years we ate the food raw, as it was intended.   We are the only animals on the planet that cook their food.   Eating meat doubled the caloric intake of man, which made it easier to hunt and have enough energy to do what needs to be done.     Today, we have access to every type of food we want at our fingertips.   We can order Oolong tea (which must be handpicked on cliffs in china) from the inte...

Christmas Food

  Christmas is a time when we think of family get-togethers and abundance. It is memory lane for most of us, enjoying friends, memorable times and good comfort, traditional foods. But the weeks after the holidays are usually weight gains, health problems from too many sweets and food.     Today white sugar, white flour, dairy products, trans and saturated fats, refined cars and excess calories are on the “no-no” list … and with the holiday times it feels as if the cakes, cookies and candies will become obsolete. And we begin to feel deprived and panic stricken. After all, it is a long-time tradition.   One answer is to make some raw food desserts and take them to get-togethers and family meals. Use nuts, dried fruits, and avocadoes instead of white flour and white sugar. They have a lot of flavor, looks and are good for you. Oh yes … and they are easy to put together.   Jenny Cornbleet has a book out called “Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People”. In it t...
