Only four ingredients in this easy-to-make sherbet, so the sweetness of the strawberries really shines through. A splash of lime is the perfect tart compliment to the sweet, juicy strawberries.
I’ve got another delicious summer treat for you today. Veggie Grettie, is my Secret Recipe Club blog this month. On Veggie Grettie, Gretchen focuses on eating a plant based diet for optimal health. Whatever she bakes or cooks is gluten-free as well as vegan. There were several recipes I wanted to try, but I loved the grogeous red color of her Strawberry Lime Sorbet.
Gretchen used So Delicious Vanilla Coconut “Yogurt” which is made with coconut milk in her Strawberry Lime Sorbet. Chobani sent me a great selection of their delicious Greek yogurt to sample (I mentioned in a previous post how much I love their lemon yogurt), so I decided to use non-fat Strawberry Chobani Greek yogurt instead.
I was impatient to make this recipe, so I didn’t chill my ice cream freezer insert long enough. It didn’t set up in the ice cream maker and it wasn’t as smooth as I would have liked, but the flavor was excellent. Creamy and delicious with no fat. A perfect way to cool off this summer.
Ingredients
- 4 cups sliced strawberries
- 3/4 cup (6 oz.) strawberry yogurt
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons agave (more or less depending on the sweetness of your berries)
Directions
- Place all of the ingredients (except the agave) into the blender and blend until smooth.
- Taste the mixture to determine the amount of sweetener needed and sweeten to taste.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturers directions. Once the ice cream maker has finished its cycle pour the sorbet into a container and freeze. You may want to take it out of the freezer and mix it quickly every 30 minutes for 2 hours to keep the consistency even.
- If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the sorbet mixture from the blender into a freezer safe container (preferrably a shallow container to expedite freezing) and take it out of the freezer to mix it every half hour until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Remove from the freezer 20 minutes prior to serving to soften slightly.

This is gorgeous Barbara, I am a huge fan of strawberry sorbet, and I love your addition of lime!
I’m thinking that sorbet looks amazing and I love that it’s so simple!
Divine! A heavenly sherbet.

This looks great Barbara. I am glad you liked my recipe
Loving this!
Oh my!! I love that you included directions for those who don’t have an ice cream maker!! Delish!
Beautiful sherbet! What a great choice for SRC! I saw it in the roundup and it immediately attracted my attention
This is such a refreshing sherbet. I love the flavor combination too.
This looks so good! My Mom just gave us an ice cream maker so this one is going on my “want” list to make. Thanks!!!
oh sweet sherbet! how i have missed thee! I used to have you all the time and then Ijust forgot i guess i could actually make you! SO glad you posted this barbara!
Mmm, that looks perfect! Love lime/lemon in fruity desserts.
There is just something completely awesome and special about all sherbets. Love this.
What a perfectly delicious recipe especially with the current heatwave, just perfect.
If you haven’t already, I’d love for you to check out my SRC entry Double Chocolate Mousse Cake

This looks so refreshing and yummy! We have had an unbelievable heat wave so this is perfect to eat.
Oh yum what a perfect summer dessert. I just tried coyo (coconut milk ‘yoghurt’) this week. It’s so delicious and so creamy it’s hard to believe it’s dairy free!
Adore this recipe! Easy, vibrant and overflowing with summer color and spectacular flavor. An exceptional sherbet!
Delicious, love to have scoop, lovely color of strawberry and lime brings out flavor.
This was also on my list of must tries when I had her blog. Unfortunately, I haven’t an ice cream maker…. :
Loved the spicy chicken soup. It was a great ending to a already fun day!!!!!
This looks and sounds amazing!
I’m drooling over your photos. That red color is so amazing, and the recipe sounds wonderful. Great SRC pick.
I have been really wanting to make a strawberry sherbert recently, but combining it with lime is something I wouldn’t have though about. Sounds so refreshing!
Love this simple recipe! Also love that you don’t need an ice cream maker. So pretty too!
Mmm what a perfect summer treat! Love it!
YUM! Sounds so good and easy
Barbara, this sherbet is so attractive. I just want to take a bite. Strawberries are in season up here now so I’m going to make some sherbet. It’s winter so maybe I won’t want to eat heaps on a cold night.
Now I need to pull out that bottle of agave so I can make these. What a lovely color.
A light and tasty ice treat!
What a fabulous recipe, Barb! I love the use of agave and hint of lime.
I’ve never made sherbet before, but we were never without a tub when I was growing up since mt father had to have it every week. I’m so excited to try this recipe, especially using strawberry Greek yogurt, which is a brilliant and creamier sub for the milk. Barb, it looks fantastic and the addition of lime is such a refreshing tang! Beautiful photos too..as always
A perfect summer treat! Very interesting that his recipe uses strawberry yogurt! I’ve never seen that before in a sherbet!
This looks wonderful! I could definitely make this for my kiddos and feel good about it – especially with this crazy heat we’ve been having!! D came home from work last night and said it got up to a miserable 106 degrees in the tunnel yesterday!! Not so bad for students, but he was in there all day (and hates the heat!). Miss you lady!
I have strawberries and lime right now in my refrigerator. I bet my Little Chefs would love to make this! We will link back when we post.
This sounds really great! Especially by sweetening it up with agave! Yummy!
This looks great and a healthful alternative to store-bought sherbet or ice cream! We’re in triple-degree heat where I live, so something sweet and cool sounds fantastic to me right now!
What a perfect summer treat, Barbara! Love it!
Sounds like the perfect summer treat, and so pretty too!
Looks yummy. What a fun blog check out my blog if you get a min and have not already

Have a great day

this just sounds so refreshing!! Perfect summer dessert.
Even though we’re cold here, that looks really tempting mum! And I get impatient with freezing my ice cream bowl too

What gorgeous sherbet – the color and flavor pairing is incredible…I’m featuring this post in Food Fetish Friday (with a link-back and attribution). I hope you have no objections and it’s always a pleasure following you…
This looks so refreshing, I’d like a dish just now!
Somehow I missed SRC this month–hopefully I’m on board for next month. We have a son getting married soon. Life is busy.
Such perfect scoops! I love how little sweetener there is in this. I’ll have to save this for next summer when we go strawberry picking next. All the good strawberries are already gone for the year. I haven’t had sherbet for ages. I might just have to buy the frozen ones!
Oh yum, this looks sooo refreshing! I made some sherbet recently and loved it, can’t wait to make more!
This is gorgeous Barbara. Love the addition of Chobani and who could resist a refreshing treat in the heat of the summer?
Nice! I made something similar this week with strawberries, raspberry kefir, Greek yogurt, and a little honey. You are right to note to take it out to soften, at least if it’s like mine, which was soft when fresh-churned but quite hard by the next day.
Not only the color is amazing, but with just four ingredients and no cream or eggs this is perfect! Great recipe!
