Orange Sorbet Jack-O’-Lanterns

Trick or treat? Give them something healthy to eat like DIY orange sorbet made with 100% orange juice!

Hosting a Halloween party and need a healthy, refreshing “orange” treat? Grab your ice cream maker and whip up a batch of homemade orange sorbet. I love this recipe from HonestCooking because it’s so simple and uses 100% orange juice. Tropicana asked me to try the recipe using their Pure Premium OJ with Calcium and Vitamin D – it was delicious and nutritious! One 8-ounce glass of their 100% orange provides two servings of fruit. And every parent knows, fruit is not top of mind for most trick-or-treaters! To make the jack-o’-lantern cups, simply slice 2 oranges in half and scoop out the juice and pulp to create mini serving bowls. Use a carving tool or knife to make the orange cups look like jack-o’-lantern faces. For more healthy Halloween treats be sure to try my Chocolate Orange Pistachio Bark and Homemade Popcorn Balls. You’ll also find the recipes on this blog and my new app Time To Eat Healthy.
