High Protein Sherbet

I grew up eating Sherbet as a little girl so when a woman named Rachel mentioned creating a high protein sherbet recipe during my support weekly challenge meeting, I had to create the perfect recipe!

Rachel mentioned how I could use the Orange Breakfast Shake recipe from my book The Art of Fat Loss, but I tried it and it was good, but I like this version even better!

HOW TO MAKE HIGH PROTEIN SHERBET

To make my high protein sherbet, I used Orange Salt LMNT!

LMNT is often used as a drink mix—but incorporating it into recipes (broths, savory snacks, carnivore treats, marinades, and even baked keto items) turns everyday food into a functional electrolyte delivery system.

Because electrolytes regulate hydration, nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and metabolic efficiency, using LMNT in recipes supports the body far beyond taste alone.

LMNT provides:

  • Sodium (the primary electrolyte most people are deficient in)

  • Potassium

  • Magnesium

  • No sugar

  • No fillers or artificial sweeteners

This makes it especially well suited for:

  • Ketogenic diets

  • Carnivore diets

  • Fasting protocols

  • Low-carb and metabolic healing approaches

1. Improves Hydration at the Cellular Level

Electrolytes are required for water to actually enter cells.

When LMNT is added to recipes:

  • Fluids are better retained

  • Cells hydrate more effectively

  • Less water is lost through urine

Why this matters
Drinking plain water without electrolytes—especially on low-carb diets—can worsen dehydration.

Using LMNT in foods helps maintain steady hydration throughout the day, not just when sipping drinks.

2. Supports Energy, Muscle Function, and Performance

Sodium, potassium, and magnesium are essential for:

  • Muscle contraction

  • Nerve signaling

  • Physical performance

  • Preventing cramps and weakness

Adding LMNT to recipes helps:

  • Reduce fatigue

  • Improve workout recovery

  • Prevent exercise-related cramping

  • Support strength and endurance

This is especially valuable for active individuals or those experiencing “low-carb fatigue.”

3. Reduces Keto Flu and Adaptation Symptoms

Low-carb diets increase sodium loss through the kidneys. Without replacement, people experience:

  • Headaches

  • Dizziness

  • Fatigue

  • Brain fog

  • Heart palpitations

Using LMNT in recipes (soups, bone broth, sauces):

  • Provides consistent electrolyte intake

  • Prevents large drops in sodium

  • Makes adaptation smoother and more sustainable

Most “keto flu” symptoms are electrolyte deficiencies—not carbohydrate withdrawal.

4. Enhances Flavor Without Sugar or Carbs

LMNT’s sodium content enhances flavor similarly to salt—but with added minerals.

In recipes, it:

  • Boosts savory depth (umami)

  • Reduces need for sauces or sweeteners

  • Makes simple carnivore or keto foods more satisfying

This improves adherence by making nutrient-dense foods more enjoyable, not more restrictive.

5. Supports Blood Pressure and Circulation (Context Matters)

In insulin-resistant or low-carb individuals:

  • Sodium restriction can worsen fatigue and low blood pressure

  • Adequate sodium improves circulation and stability

Using LMNT in recipes helps:

  • Prevent lightheadedness

  • Improve blood volume

  • Support healthy blood pressure regulation in low-insulin states

Sodium needs are context-dependent, not universally high or low.

6. Supports Digestion and Stomach Acid Production

Sodium is required for:

  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) production

  • Proper digestion of protein

  • Mineral absorption

Including LMNT in meals can:

  • Improve protein digestion

  • Reduce bloating related to low stomach acid

  • Support nutrient absorption

This is particularly helpful on high-protein carnivore diets.

7. Helps Stabilize Appetite and Reduce Cravings

Electrolyte deficiencies can trigger:

  • Cravings

  • “False hunger”

  • Fatigue-driven snacking

Adding LMNT to recipes helps:

  • Normalize appetite signals

  • Reduce stress-driven eating

  • Support satiety between meals

Many people mistake electrolyte depletion for hunger.

8. Makes Electrolyte Intake Effortless and Consistent

Using LMNT in recipes:

  • Removes the need to remember separate supplements

  • Spreads electrolytes throughout the day

  • Reduces digestive upset from large bolus doses

  • Improves long-term compliance

Consistency is what prevents symptoms—not occasional correction.

Who Benefits Most

Using LMNT in recipes is especially helpful for:

  • Keto and carnivore eaters

  • Fasting individuals

  • Athletes and active people

  • People with low blood pressure or dizziness

  • Those prone to cramps or fatigue

  • Anyone struggling with hydration despite drinking water

Conclusion: Electrolytes Are a Foundation, Not an Add-On

LMNT in recipes transforms food into functional nutrition.

By supporting hydration, nerve signaling, muscle function, digestion, and metabolic stability—without sugar or fillers—it helps the body perform better and feel better on low-carb and carnivore lifestyles.

When electrolytes are adequate, everything else works better.

  • Place 1 cup unsweetened low fat coconut milk or water into the ninja creami container. Add the Equip Prime Protein, Orange Salt LMNT, egg and sweetener if using. 
  • Use an immersion blender to combine the ingredients. Add more unsweetened coconut milk or water until you reach the fill line. Stir with a spoon. Taste and if desired, add more stevia glycerite or allulose. 
  • Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. 
  • When ready to consume, allow to sit on the counter for 10 minutes or sit in hot water for 2 minutes). Making sure it doesn't get too liquidy yet soft.
  • Place in the Ninja Creami on the “lite” setting. This will spin for about 3 minutes. Check consistency and if you desire a creamier texture, run the mixture on the “gelato” setting. Depending on your desired texture, will determine your settings. Enjoy!
