With sunny days comes the desire for ice cream and sorbet. More “healthy”, a sorbet cannot be compared to a portion of fruit. Explanations!
In general, a sorbet is healthier” just an ice cream. Remember that the latter is made from milk, sugar and milk fat. The calories are therefore also well on their way 180 calories per 100 grams of ice cream. The sorbet, for its part, is not composed only of water, fruit and sugar. In terms of calories, 100 grams of sorbet contains only 130 calories. If you only see the sanitary side, then the choice is made. Especially since nutritional intake of an ice cream is significantly lower than conventional dairy products.
Regarding the comparison between a sorbet and a portion of fruit, you should know that a sorbet should contain at least 25% fruit. Of course there is exceptions such as acidic fruits (lemon, blackcurrant) or fruits with a strong taste (banana, pineapple). There is also “full fruit” sorbet containing at least 45% fruit. But even these types of sorbet are not not compared to a portion of fruit. A portion of fruit corresponds to 80-100 grams. Let’s also add the high sugar content of the sorbet.
Sorbet: Watch out for blood sugar spikes
It is important to emphasize that a sorbet is a lot sweeter than ice cream. The reason is the accumulation of sugar in fruits and added sugar. For 100 grams of sorbet, we will count approx 25 grams of sugar. It is therefore important to be aware of its consumption. It goes without saying that abusing it is strongly discouraged. The best would be to eat a sorbet at the end of a meal. This is especially true for those who are diabetic.
