Weight loss based ingredients
- 4 cups diced seedless watermelon (low-calorie, hydrating)
- ½ cup coconut water (natural electrolytes, low-calorie)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (boosts metabolism, adds tanginess)
- 1 tablespoon natural honey or stevia (sugar alternative, low-glycemic)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger (anti-inflammatory, aids digestion)
Cooking Methods (Instructions) Focused for Weight Loss
1. In a blender, combine diced watermelon, coconut water, lime juice, honey or stevia, and grated ginger. Blend until smooth.
2. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any pulp for a smoother texture.
3. Pour the mixture into a shallow container or ice cream maker. If using a container, freeze for 1 hour, then stir well to break up ice crystals. Repeat every 30 minutes until the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency.
4. Serve immediately for a soft texture or freeze for 2-3 hours for a firmer sorbet.
Weight Loss Tips & Advice
1. Use natural sweeteners like honey or stevia instead of white sugar to reduce calorie intake and avoid blood sugar spikes.

4. Watermelon is high in water content, which helps you feel full without adding extra calories.
