Lemon Protein Sorbet Recipe, Delicious, and One-Of-A-Kind!
Ingredients
- 3 lemons
- Zest of half a lemon
- 2 egg whites
- 2 cups water
- 1 unflavored gelatin sheet
- 2 tbsp Natural Athletes Vegan Vanilla protein
- 200 gr raw honey
Instructions
-
First, wet the gelatin sheet by placing it in a bowl with cold water and follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the recommended time to let it soak.
-
To prepare the syrup, combine the water with the honey in a saucepan and bring it to a boil, stirring constantly until you get a light syrup. Then drain the gelatin sheet, put it in the syrup and mix well so that it dissolves correctly.
-
Once all the ingredients are combined well, transfer them to a jar or container, let them cool to room temperature, and then store it in the freezer.
-
Squeeze the lemons to extract the juice (but first grate a bit of the peel to use later), pass the juice through a strainer to remove any seeds that may have fallen.
-
After the syrup is cold, mix it with the lemon juice, add the vegan vanilla protein, and stir until the protein has dissolved completely.
-
Then freeze the mixture for 2 hours.
-
Take the opportunity to whisk the egg whites until stiff, with a manual or electric whisk, or with the help of a thermomix.
-
Next, add the egg whites into the half-frozen protein mixture folding it in so you get a velvety texture.
-
Freeze until ready to serve.
-
Take it out approximately half an hour before and crush it up a little in order to get the perfect texture.
-
Once ready to serve, place a little of the lemon zest on top of the sorbet and, if you want, some mint or mint leaves as a topping for some extra pow!
Notes
Chefs trick: The egg whites will form peaks the moment you turn the bowl if you don’t move it from its place.
