Ingredients:

  • 2 cups frozen mango

  • Pinch black pepper
  • 1–2 tsp honey or soaked dates

Method:

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.

  3. Serve immediately or freeze for 30–60 minutes for a firmer texture.

🌶️ Guava Chili Sorbet (Sweet-Spicy Digestive Boost)

Why it works:
Guava is rich in fiber and vitamin C, while chili can stimulate digestion and metabolism.

🍍 Pineapple Mint Sorbet (Reduces Bloating)

Why it works:
Pineapple contains bromelain (a digestive enzyme), while mint soothes the gut and reduces bloating.

Cucumber hydrates and cools the body, while matcha provides calm, sustained energy due to L-theanine.

  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Juice of ½ lemon

Method:

  1. Blend all ingredients until creamy.
  2. Adjust sweetness if needed.

  • Pinch pink salt
  • 1 tsp chia seeds (optional)

Method:

  1. Blend until smooth.
  2. Stir in chia seeds after blending (optional).

🍊 Orange Ginger Sorbet (Skin Glow Support)

Why it works:
Carrot and orange are rich in beta-carotene and vitamin C, supporting skin health, while ginger improves circulation.

  • ½ tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp honey
