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.
