Peach-Sunflower Seed Sorbet
Bring the (healthy) fat back to your Fast Metabolism Diet with this delicious cold treat. Your body is perfectly primed for it, now—your digestive enzymes are firing, your muscles are pumped up, your body is richly fed with nutrient-dense foods, and now, just when you really need it, heart-healthy fats, like those found in sunflower seeds, come flooding in, triggering your body's fat-for-fuel mechanisms.
Phase 3 | Serves 2
Prep time: 5 minutes | Total time 10 minutes
Ingredients
4 cups ice
½ cup birch-based xylitol
2 cups frozen peach chunks
¼ cup sunflower seeds
4 mint leaves (optional)
Directions
- Place all ingredients in a Vitamix (or other powerful blender).
- Blend until smooth.
- Serve immediately or freeze to desired consistency.
If your blender isn’t that powerful, your sorbet will turn out chunkier and soupier at first. Just pour it in a bowl and freeze for 30 minutes or until it’s the consistency you want.
