Homemade Healthy Rainbow Sherbet

Homemade Healthy Rainbow Sherbet is made with fresh cantaloupe, honeydew melon and strawberries for a much healthier dessert that is simple to make and delicious!

I am so excited to share this recipe with you! I thought of it one night as I could not fall asleep and quickly turned on my phone and emailed myself the recipe idea so that I would not forget it come morning. I was thinking about rainbow sherbet for some reason and was thinking that honeydew melon is the color of the green, cantaloupe is the color of the orange and strawberries and bananas are the color of the pink.

I was not sure how this recipe would turn out because I had never made anything like it before. I searched for the recipe on Pinterest and could not find anything similar. So, I decided to try it anyways and see how it turned out.

It turned out excellent! This recipe is a little bit of a labor of love meaning that it is not the simplest of recipes but it makes a really fun summer healthy dessert. It can be enjoyed by both kids and adults.

If you let it freeze completely before serving, allow some time to partially thaw as it can be very firm.
