¿Buscas un bocadillo saludable, rápido y que le encante a tu pequeño?

¡Este sorbete de melón es la solución perfecta!
Se prepara con solo unos pocos ingredientes básicos y es una forma refrescante de consumir fruta con una cantidad mínima de azúcar añadida. Además, aporta las vitaminas y nutrientes que necesitan los niños en edad de crecimiento.

¿Por qué este sorbete es una opción saludable?

  • ✓ Los melones, como la sandía, el melón verde y el cantalupo, contienen vitaminas A y C, que fortalecen el sistema inmunológico y son buenas para la vista.
  • ✓ También tienen un alto contenido de agua, lo que ayuda a que los niños se mantengan hidratados en los días calurosos.
  • ✓ El melón combinado con yogur aporta proteínas y calcio, esenciales para fortalecer los huesos y los músculos.

Si preparas este sorbete en casa, ¡podrás regular la intensidad del dulzor!
Los azúcares naturales del melón aportan mucho sabor, y usted puede regular la cantidad de azúcar añadida o incluso reemplazarla por miel (si los niños tienen más de un año de edad). La opción de añadir jugo de lima le da un toque picante, mientras que la vainilla le añade un dulzor sutil.
