I wanted needed to make a dessert  that could help me keep my sanity while Doing the Daniel Fast.  Something slightly sweet, all fruit with no sugar added.   I think I’ve come up with a good one.  Here’s a 2 ingredient Pina Colada Sorbet recipe that I made in my Nutri Bullet. Just freeze some diced pineapple and blend it in the Nutri Bullet with 1/2 a cup of sugar free, pure coconut water with pulp. (adjust the amounts to fill at or below the fill line on your Nutri Bullet or blender)  Pour into a container and freeze for about an hour or two, remove from the freezer before its frozen solid.  Scoop and serve…..that’s It!
