Ingredients
- 4 large lemons
- 2 cups water
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 pinch salt
- 5 fresh (optional for garnish) mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Start by zesting the lemons to collect about 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Set the zest aside.
Step 2
Juice the lemons to obtain approximately 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds.
Step 3
Peel and slice the ripe bananas into chunks.
Step 4
In a blender, add the lemon juice, water, banana slices, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no banana or zest chunks.
Step 6
Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Spread it evenly.
Step 7
Place the dish in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it's firm.
Step 8
Once frozen, remove the sorbet from the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
Step 9
Use an ice cream scoop to serve the sorbet into bowls. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves for extra freshness.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30-compliant lemon sorbet!
