Pineapple Coconut Sorbet

With it being 100 degrees outside all the time, I've been on a serious sorbet kick lately.  It's definitely healthier than ice cream, but the stuff you get in the store still has some questionable ingredients so why not make it yourself? 
Nick and I bought a Ninja blender the other day and wow, it's amazing.  I highly recommend everyone dump their blender and get one of these.  It's amazing.  I think I'll start blending every meal from now on.  Anyway, we've been experimenting making different smoothies, popsicles, etc.  and yesterday, I found an amazing pineapple coconut sorbet recipe. YUM!  It's amazing, refreshing, and healthier than most summer sweets. 

Enjoy!!





















Pineapple Coconut Sorbet

Ingredients:
2 cups cubed pineapple, frozen
1/2-1 cup organic coconut milk (not the kind in the can)
2 tbs. organic sugar (Always use organic sugar!)
1-2 tsp. lemon juice

Directions:
Place everything in a blender and blend until mixed.  If you have an awesome Ninja blender like we do, blend on 3 for about 12 seconds.  I've also added banana, which is good, but sort of takes away the coconut flavor.  You can also add a little slice of ginger, chopped.  YUM!  I always put it in the freezer for a few hours to harden a bit.
