Ahhh summer! My kids are all about playing in the water, soaking up the sunshine, and enjoying cold sweet treats like ice cream and sorbet. For some reason, I was buying store-bought sorbet for the kids, when I did not realize just how easy it was to make it myself. I made this delicious Raspberry Lemonade Sorbet in minutes with the Vitamix E310 Explorian Series Blender.
Raspberry Lemonade Sorbet
My boys LOVE raspberries. They love all kinds of fruit, but berries are a must to keep on hand for summertime snacking. The other day, I had just bought a lot of raspberries on sale and I noticed that a few of them were going bad. Now, my boys can wipe out a container of raspberries pretty quickly, but I had bought so many that I just stuck them in the freezer.
I pulled them out to make this recipe and was curious as to if the Vitamix could take care of them, and of course, it did! The sorbet turned out so smooth and the end result was just delicious.

This recipe could NOT be easier. Just combine everything in the Vitamix and go. The only semi difficult part was the raspberry seeds. If you don’t mind having seeds in your sorbet, then by all means, skip this step. Seeds are good for you, right? Sometimes I can’t convince my kids of that, and I did want them to eat all of this sorbet, so I removed the seeds.
I poured the sorbet mixture into a bowl through a strainer, but that did take a little time. Eventually I landed on covering the bowl with a piece of cheesecloth, securing the sides, and pouring the mixture through it to strain out the seeds. With a little help, this part was done in no time and I made the backyard chickens happy with the seeds!
The boys LOVED this raspberry lemonade sorbet! It was just the perfect combination of sour and sweet. You can adjust the sugar content, or try using honey or coconut sugar, but organic cane sugar is what I used.
Serve this along with these other summer dinner party menu ideas!
