Seriously. Why does summer have to feel so short?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easily my favourite season&#8230;and memories of hot evenings outside with friends, campfires to roast hotdogs, volleyball games, picnics<!--more-->, time with God on the porch, and early morning runs fill my heart with a grateful smile. While I&#8217;m a girl that easily embraces change, I must admit seeing summer end saddens me a little.<\/p>\n<p>However, although I&#8217;m back in the busy city with college, I&#8217;m still in summer eating mode. This means healthy ice-creams, smoothies, and icy cold desserts &#8211; pretty normal in the Colourful Palate life. I was going to sweeten this sorbet recipe up with some stevia (sweet tooth lover here), but after a taste test I realized that it was wonderful as is. I think the trick is to use a perfectly ripe melon! I loved the soft, mellow flavour of the honeydew and when made into a sorbet, it felt like a hydrating, frozen juice&#8230;a delicious, healing, vitamin C rich dessert. If you stick to one serving, it&#8217;s not too high in (natural) sugars. Serves 6.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"recipeTitle\">Two Ingredient Melon Sorbet<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"recipe\">\n<li>1 large, ripe honeydew melon<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup unsweetened almond milk<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Cut the melon in slices and place in blender.
