Sorbet Tip   The summertime means a lot of tasty fruits are in season. Freeze fresh fruit and save them to include in sorbets months later. Choose fruit-based desserts like sorbet over dairy-based desserts. Fresh fruit is virtually fat-free and will help you achieve the Olympian level of fitness you’ve always strived for. Ditch the dairy >>

1 - 2 tablespoons frozen apple juice concentrate or white grape juice concentrate
1/2 cup vanilla rice milk
