Apple Honey Sorbet and Pom Wonderful Iced Coffee

I am not quite ready to say goodbye to summer yet. As the weather has been sunny and warm, I'm still making some frozen treats like this "apples dipped in honey" sorbet.



Containing only 2 ingredients, this light and healthy dessert is made by blending apples and honey (about 1 teaspoon of honey per 1 small apple) using an immersion blender and then placing in the freezer, occasionally stirring with a fork until frozen, typically about an hour.



Another chilled treat I am tasting is a delightfully refreshing and energizing iced coffee from Pom Wonderful. This drink is very healthy, containing a special pomegranate extract full of antioxidants. It is also low in fat (or even fat free depending on a flavor) and cholesterol free. At the same time, the Pom Wonderful coffees are delicious. My favorite is the chocolate iced coffee, offering a balanced blend between chocolate, coffee, and milk, resulting in a wonderful mocha flavor. I also like the creamy taste of café au lait flavor as well. I will definitely be getting these iced coffees again!
