Summer and watermelon are almost synonyms. I can't imagine summer without fresh chilled watermelon! A couple of days ago, I asked my Facebook followers if there is any cocktail they are missing on their low-carb journey. Well, watermelon sorbet is definitely not a cocktail recipe but it's great for hot summer days like these!

To make this low-carb and sugar-free sorbet I used my ice cream maker but you can simply freeze it and churn every 30 minutes until you get the desired consistency of sorbet.

Although watermelon has a high Glycemic Index (GI = 72), it has a very low Glycemic Load, which measures how much insulin will be released by your body for a given food measured in standard portions. You always need to consider serving size to get the best estimate of how it will affect your blood sugar levels.

Other health benefits of watermelon are:

it's very high in water (more than 90%) which makes it filling

it's relatively low in net carbs and calories (7.2g net carbs and 30 kcal per 100g)

it's high in vitamin A

it contains lycopene, a carotenoid with antioxidant activity and has potential cancer-fighting abilities

Remember, only avoid watermelon or any fruit if your carbs limit is very low (20 g or less of net carbs a day).

Martina Slajerova Creator of KetoDietApp.com I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight. That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food. More posts by Martina Slajerova Martina Slajerova
