With the warm weather around the corner, a great low-cal, gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free dessert is sorbet! You can make it with all different types of fruit but mixed berries and watermelon are our favs...
Are you ready you COMPASSIONATE COOK you? Start your blender, get ready, get set, GO!
RECIPIE:
4C of mixed organic berries or watermelon (seeds removed)
1C of water – or use coconut water to add a nutritious boost!
1/4C Organic maple syrup (or agave syrup)

Why Maple Syrup?
Great quality maple syrup is non-refined and contains zinc and magnese. Many new studies show that this Canadian favourite sweetener is not just for pancakes; it has tons of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties too.
ZINC – Needed for cellular metabolism, DNA repair & immune system functions... (just to name a few!)
MAGNESE – Activates key enzymes needed for bodily functions (protein & fatty-acid synthesis), thought to increase sexual hormones!
