2 cups frozen strawberries
1 cup ice
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup apple juice
Add all ingredients to the Vitamix. Select Variable 1 and increase speed to 8. Blend for 10 seconds or until the sound changes. Makes 3 cups.
Taste score: 6/10
Likes: The texture was perfect, and it tasted really fresh. The sorbet was very refreshing, because it didn't taste like that awful artificial sugar-ed up version you can buy in the cartons.
Dislikes: I shouldn't have added so much ice, because it tasted more like strawberry italian ice than strawberry sorbet. Next time I would add some raspberries to make the flavor more interesting.
Nutritional score: 7/10
Strawberries have a magic chemical called phenol which protects your heart, prevents cancer, and is anti-inflammatory. The only downside to this frozen treat is the added sugar, which you could go without but it would probably taste a little tart.

I can personally attest that this recipe is delicious! Highly recommended!
I'm going to make this now... except I'm going to substitute agave for the sugar. Thanks for sharing!
Delish -I substituted agave as well, and instead of apple juice (which I didn't have) I added coconut water.
I followed the recipe as given. Everyone (kids included) loved it! I might try it next time with some substitutions.
