Ninja Creami Grapefruit Sorbet [Low Calorie]

Recipe by Leah Robinson

Ingredients

🍊 2 large grapefruits (juiced, about 1 cup of juice)
🍯 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
🍋 Juice of 1 lemon
🍊 Zest of 1 grapefruit
🧊 1/2 cup water
🧂 Pinch of salt

Directions

In a blender, combine the grapefruit juice, honey (or agave syrup), lemon juice, grapefruit zest, water, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Secure the lid and place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours to ensure it is thoroughly frozen.
Once the mixture is frozen solid, remove the pint from the freezer. Remove the lid and insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine.
Select the “Sorbet” function on the Ninja Creami. This setting is perfect for creating a smooth, icy texture.
After processing, check the consistency. If the sorbet is too crumbly, add a splash of water and reprocess using the “Re-spin” function until it reaches your desired creaminess.
Scoop the Grapefruit Sorbet into bowls or cones. Garnish with a mint sprig or a twist of grapefruit zest for an extra touch.
