Breastmilk Sherbet

Submitted by mstrapp

"Another fantastic way to transition babies into solid foods without introducing animal proteins or allergens. You can be creative with this one. Add your own dry ingredients (i.e. candies, nuts, pretzels, cookies, etc.) and feel free to substitute the fruits for ones your baby likes. I use organic sugar in the raw, ground finely, but you can sweeten with agave nectar or pitted dates."
