Ingredients
1 pineapple
2 chopped bananas
3 tbsp sugar
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 tbsp honey
Directions
Because this sorbet is frozen in the pineapple shell, you must cut
out the flesh according to the following special method. First, slice
off the top, just at the point where the edges begin to straighten.
Now stand the pineapple up on its bottom end. Insert a long,
thin-bladed knife into the exposed flesh, next to the pineapple's
outer skin. Push the knife in tin the entire length of the pineapple,
stopping just above the bottom - CAREFUL - you don't want to
penetrate through the bottom. Cut in a circle around the edge just
inside the skin. You've now created a long cylinder of pineapple
flesh that's connected to the shell only at the bottom.
To separate the bottom of this fruit cylinder, insert the knife into
the side of the pineapple, about 1 inch from the bottom. Without
enlarging the hole that is the knife's entry point into the fruit,
fan the blade back and forth, cutting through the inside fruit
cylinder in a large "V". Repeat this procedure on the opposite side.
Now the long, central p pineapple cylinder is free.
Invert the pineapple over a bowl to catch the juice. Plunge a fork
into the pineapple cylinder's top end and, with firm determination,
pull it out into the bowl. Remove the tough central core of the fruit
by cutting the cylinder into quarters and then trimming off the
center strip of eac each piece. Remove any "eyes".
Roughly chop the remaining pineapple flesh and put it into the bowl
with the reserved juice. The rest is easier!!
Puree pineapple flesh and juice with bananas in food processor,
gradually adding the sugar, yogurt and honey. Transfer to ice cream
maker and process according to directions. Scoop sorbet into hollowed
out pineapple shell, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least
an hour.
To serve: Remove from freezer just before serving. Slice the
pineapple from top to bottom into 6 wedges.
Of course, one needn't go to all that trouble...but it's a lovely way
to present the sorbet. If you don't want to do it, then skip all the
hard part, and just chop up the pineapple flesh and go from there and
serve directly out of the ice cream maker!! :)
This will also get posted in the low fat topic, as it only has 1 gm
of fat per serving.....

Diet Banana Pineapple Tropical Sorbet Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Diet informationThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system first advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, although many people discover that they manage to lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a state of balance that is a lot more healthful than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its best and, as a result, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The main procedure of the system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Popular with many famous celebrities, it enables fat reduction whilst still eating many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg beef and hard cheeses. With this diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, nutrition system. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan started by Cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that one should consume "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented the south beach diet for people who have cardiac problems, as a result of his detailed analysis of scientific research completed on other weight loss regimes. "good" foods include, lean cuts of beef, chicken breast, fish, mozzarella cheese, pecan halves, lowfat yoghurt and some vegatables, like kidney beans, collard greens and water chestnuts. |
