Healthy Watermelon Sorbet

School may be starting but here in Texas we are entering the hottest part of the year! 

Maybe it’s because I’m pregnant, but I just cannot stand the heat and have been looking for every way possible to cool down. So when we were given a few fresh watermelons, I decided to get creative and make a delicious, simple, and healthy watermelon sorbet! 

The fresh icy sorbet turned out delicious and even my super picky 7 year old approves (just don’t let him know it’s healthy)!
