It's all about how we perceive the world: is your cup half full of half empty?
I was totally wiped out today. I could not fall asleep until about 3 am and then I taught two fitness classes in the morning. After a few chores my hubby commended that I rest. Being the obedient wife that I am I complied.
He went off to work and I got bored being a couch potato. On top of that I was craving something sweet, which is an unusual thing for me. So, I decided to experiment. I tried making strawberry muffins, creating a new recipe. When I was pouring batter into the forms I knew it was going to be a disaster, but was too tired to fight it. However, when I tasted the batter it exploded my taste buds with day dreams of summer.
Muffins did fail and ended up in the trash can, but... I whipped up a strawberry sorbet with many of the same ingredients and... I AM IN LOVE! The sorbet turned out not too sweet, just the way I like it.
While I was eating up strawberry goodness I remembered that I had a wee-bit of Coconut Bliss Dark Chocolate ice cream. The marriage between the two turned out to be a perfect union. Sweetness of the ice cream was balanced by tartness of the sorbet. Now they live happily every after... in my stomach.
So, here is the recipe. [Since I piled everything in [but the kitchen sink ;)] in such a hurry I did not keep track of measurements, so I am gestimating them as much as I can.]
Vegan Strawberry Banana Sorbet
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Toffuti sour cream
- 2 tbs Toffuti cream cheese
- 1/8 cup water
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup apple sauce, or 1/2 cup apple
- 2 cups frozen straberries
- 2 tbsp honey
- Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until strawberries get integrated into the mixture.
- Serve immediately [preferably with some Coconut Bliss ice cream ;)] or freeze for future indulging.
I hope you make this happy accident in your kitchen and let me know what you think.
