Watermelon Sorbet | Raw Vegan

I absolutely love nicecream i.e. simple banana ice cream recipes are always a go-to for me. They’re quick, delicious, and satisfying and super easy to whip up when you’ve got a stash of ripe bananas in the freezer. But today, I want to talk about something that’s just as refreshing and just as easy: sorbet!

I know, I know, bananas are amazing, but if you’re looking for a change or perhaps a lighter treat, let me introduce you to my all-time favorite raw vegan sorbet recipe: Watermelon Pina Sorbet. This one’s for those hot, sun-soaked days when you want something hydrating, sweet, and totally in harmony with your body. Sorbet is often overlooked in the raw vegan world, but trust me, it deserves a place right alongside nice cream!

Now, the texture is a big part of the difference between nicecream and sorbet. Sorbet tends to be more icy due to the higher water content of fruits like watermelon and pineapple, while nicecream, such as my “Bubble Gum Nice Cream” is more creamy because of the bananas or other dense, sweet fruits used. Both are equally delicious, but sorbet is the way to go if you’re craving something a bit lighter and more refreshing!

Here’s the magic combo for this refreshing Watermelon Sorbet Treat:

Watermelon 

+ Pineapple 

= a sorbet that’s out-of-this-world delicious.

To make it, simply cube and freeze equal portions of sweet, ripe watermelon and pineapple. I personally like to use seedless watermelon because it’s quicker and easier, but if you’ve got a seeded variety, don’t worry—just remove the seeds before freezing.

When you’re ready, toss those frozen cubes into your blender. You can go for a 50/50 ratio or switch it up with more watermelon if you like it a bit lighter, say a 70/30 watermelon-to-pineapple mix. The result is a thick, creamy, ice-cold treat that melts in your mouth and makes your taste buds do a little happy dance!

What makes this sorbet stand out isn’t just how refreshing it is, but how hydrating and light it feels on your system. Watermelon is incredibly high in water content, making this sorbet a great choice for cooling off while staying hydrated. And that little punch of tropical flavor from the pineapple gives it a nice zing—plus, pineapple’s digestive enzymes help break down food and keep your tummy happy.

If you want something extra, you can serve this sorbet with other fresh acid fruits like strawberries, kiwi, oranges for a little flavor twist. It’s the kind of treat that feels like a tropical vacation in a bowl, and honestly, it’s perfect whether you’re lounging by the pool or enjoying a quick snack post-yoga.

The best part? It’s as easy as it gets. No added sweeteners, no fuss—just pure, whole, nutrient-packed fruit.

Give it a try, and I promise you’ll fall in love with the simple joy of Watermelon Sorbet. It’s a reminder that raw vegan eating doesn’t have to be complicated to be incredibly satisfying. Let the natural sweetness of the fruit shine, and you’ll have a go-to summer recipe that not only cools you down but also nourishes your body in the best way possible.

Try it out, share it with your family and friends, and don’t be surprised if they can’t believe how such a simple recipe can taste this good.
