Why You Will Love This Recipe
Guys, this watermelon sorbet is life-changing after making it in the Ninja Creami and you won't believe how easy it is!
When you have leftover watermelon or any fruit just turn it into sorbet and make it in the NInja creami using the sorbet setting.
This method can be done with any type of fruit as well. In fact, any type of melon fruit such as cantaloupe, honey dew, or musk melon will be great if you don't like watermelon.

How to Make Watermelon Sorbet

- When the ice cream is ready use the Sorbet setting on your Ninja Creami machine.

Tips for Ninja Creami’s
- Ninja Creami’s can make smoothie bowls, ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and even milkshakes!
- For sorbets use canned fruit or fresh fruit. It just doesn’t make any sense to defrost frozen fruit then refreeze it in the Ninja Creami machine.
- If the blending didn’t work the first time try adding some more juice or milk to it and do a second respin.
- Find a good base ice cream for vanilla and you can add whatever toppings you like to the ice cream for mix ins.
- The Ninja Creami is kind of loud when it is spinning in the machine. Just warning you before you attempt to make ice cream. 🙂
Watermelon Sorbet Recipe FAQS
Usually, when I buy a watermelon I'll look to see if the bottom of the melon is green or slightly yellow color. I know there are probably other ways of finding a ripe watermelon out there but this method usually works for me. Have any tips on finding a good watermelon, leave them below.
If you're on the WW diet, blended fruit is actually zero points! According to WW themselves, even sorbets and banana ice cream still zero points. Want to know why? Find out reading this article.
Basic 0 Points Banana Ice Cream.
Smoothies or juice you’re drinking will not promote the same amount of fullness between meals as eating fruit might. Whereas here when you are eating the ice cream with a spoon, you are experiencing the act of eating, and are less likely to over-indulge. - From WW Canada site.
Using frozen fruit is ok in a Ninja Creami but I prefer fresh fruit over frozen. There's just something about using frozen fruit and adding it to the pint. It's like it's being frozen twice and I don't think that's necessary.
Sometimes after the first spin, the fruit will almost appear to look like powder. I like to add any type of fruit juice and then spin it for a second time.

Can you do this with other fruits?

Because I calculated the points based on the nutrition info for Watermelon.

Why is this 1 Smart Point? The watermelon is free - even four cups?

That sounds good too! Will not add very many calories either.

I like my sorbet a little TART...think I'd probably add a little fresh squeezed lemon juice to it!!
