Strawberry Fruit Cream Sherbet (Made in the Nama J2 or a Blender!)

By Naava’s Nourishing Garden

Let me tell y’all—this strawberry fruit cream sherbet is one of my favorite summer treats. Light, creamy, fruity, and refreshing… and best of all, it’s made with just a few whole ingredients. I originally started making this in my blender long before I got my Nama J2 juicer, and it’s still just as good either way!

This recipe is really forgiving, so feel free to get creative. I usually use frozen strawberries, dragon fruit, and banana. The banana is key because it acts as a natural sweetener and creamer. If you like it sweeter, you can always drizzle a little sweetened condensed milk on top (trust me, it takes it over the top!). I also like to finish mine with chopped nuts and a little fresh fruit—makes it feel extra special.

Whether you’re using a fancy juicer or just your blender and a little patience, this is a treat the whole family can enjoy. And you don’t have to feel guilty about it, either. Whole fruit, no dairy, no fuss.

Instructions:

If using the Nama J2 juicer with the sherbet attachment:

-Make sure your fruit is fully frozen -let it sit out about 5 minutes (I slice and freeze mine ahead of time)

-Feed the fruit slowly into the juicer, alternating strawberries, dragon fruit, and banana.

-Let the machine work its magic!

-Scoop into a bowl and top with condensed milk, nuts, or fresh fruit as desired.

If using a blender:

-Add frozen strawberries, dragon fruit, and banana to the blender.

-Add a small splash of liquid to help it blend. Start with just a tablespoon or two.

-Blend until creamy and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

-Serve immediately or freeze for 15–20 minutes if you want a firmer texture.

-Top it off with anything you like—get creative!
