    Hi, I’m very new to minimalist baker but am loving everything vegan that I see, it all looks so fresh and yummy!
    I can see all of your ice cream and sorbet recipes (AMAZING!!) but I need a zingy lime sherbet/sorbet for Halloween and thought I could start with one of your recipes bases. Do you think that could work and if so which one and what measurements of lime would I best to try for kids? I looked at one recipe you had using mango and the end product looked awesome but I couldn’t substitute all of that mango for lime or I imagine the flavor would be very strong.

      Hi Corie! I haven’t tried making a lime / lemon sorbet. But you could probably sub a decent portion of the mango for lime? I’ve never tried it though! Let us know how it goes.

    Looking forward to trying your smoothie recipes! I am also interested in the lemon blueberry waffles. Would it be okay if I didn’t use the potato starch? It is currently unavailable through your link and I would not need it for any other items I cook.

      Hi Jeanine, we’d suggest maybe trying more tapioca in place of the potato starch! Let us know how it goes!

    I swapped out the raspberries for strawberries in the gluten free raspberry rhubarb crisp, and it was delicious! Who needs flour to make a crisp?! The pecans added a nice flavor compliment. The fruit mixture was the perfect tart to the sweet from the scoop of vanilla icecream on top.
