I grew up eating sorbet as a little girl, so when a woman named Rachel mentioned that she made a high protein sorbet recipe during my weekly support challenge, I had to make the perfect recipe!
Rachel shared how to 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 PROTEIN SHERBET
To make my high protein sorbet, I used Orange salt LMNT!
LMNT is often used as a drink mix, but processed recipes (broths, savory snacks, carnivore treats, marinades, and even keto baked goods) turn 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 much more than just taste.
LMNT offers:
This makes it particularly suitable for:
1. Improves hydration at the cellular level
Electrolytes are required for water to work enter cells.
When adding LMNT to recipes:
Liquids are retained better
Cells hydrate more effectively
Less water is lost through the urine
Why this matters
Drinking plain water without electrolytes – especially on low-carb diets – can make dehydration worse.
Using LMNT in foods helps preserve it constant hydration throughout the daynot just while sipping a drink.
2. Supports energy, muscle function and performance
Sodium, potassium and magnesium are essential for:
Adding LMNT to recipes helps:
This is especially valuable for active individuals or those who suffer from ‘low-carb fatigue’.
3. Reduces Keto Flu and Adjustment Symptoms
Low-carb diets increase sodium loss through the kidneys. Without replacement, people experience:
Headache
Dizziness
Fatigue
Brain fog
Palpitations
Uses of LMNT in recipes (soups, bone broths, sauces):
Ensures consistent absorption of electrolytes
Prevents large drops of sodium
Makes adjustment smoother and more durable
Most “keto flu” symptoms are electrolyte deficiencies, not carbohydrate withdrawal.
4. Improves taste without sugar or carbohydrates
The sodium content of LMNT improves the taste in the same way as salt, but with added minerals.
In recipes it is:
Increases savory depth (umami)
Reduces the need for sauces or sweeteners
Makes simple carnivore or keto foods more satisfying
This improves treatment compliance by creating nutrient-dense foods more funnot more restrictive.
5. Supports blood pressure and circulation (context matters)
In insulin-resistant or low-carbohydrate individuals:
Using LMNT in recipes helps:
Sodium needs are context dependentnot universally high or low.
6. Supports digestion and stomach acid production
Sodium is needed for:
Including LMNT in meals can:
Improve protein digestion
Reduce bloating due to low stomach acid
Support nutrient absorption
This is especially helpful on a high-protein carnivore diet.
7. Helps stabilize appetite and reduce food cravings
An electrolyte deficiency can lead to:
Desire
“False hunger”
Fatigue-induced snacking
Adding LMNT to recipes helps:
Normalize appetite signals
Reduce stress-driven eating
Support the feeling of satiety between meals
Many people confuse electrolyte deficiency with hunger.
8. Ensures effortless and consistent electrolyte intake
Using LMNT in recipes:
Eliminates the need to remember separate supplements
Distributes electrolytes throughout the day
Reduces digestive complaints due to large bolus doses
Improves long-term compliance
Consistency is what prevents symptoms, not occasional correction.
Using LMNT in recipes is especially useful for:
Keto and carnivore eaters
Fasting individuals
Athletes and active people
People with low blood pressure or dizziness
Those who are prone to cramps or fatigue
Anyone who struggles with hydration despite drinking water
Conclusion: Electrolytes are a base, not an addition
LMNT in recipes transforms food into functional food.
By supporting hydration, nerve signaling, muscle function, digestion and metabolic stability – without sugar or fillers – it helps the body perform and feel better on a low-carb and carnivore lifestyle.
If the electrolytes are sufficient, everything else works better.
Protein-rich sorbet
Prevent your screen from going dark
- Add 1 cup of unsweetened low-fat coconut milk or water to the ninja creami container. Add the Equip Prime Protein, Orange Salt LMNT, egg and sweetener if using.
Use a hand blender to combine the ingredients. Add more unsweetened coconut milk or water until you reach the fill line. Stir with a spoon. Taste and add more steviaglycerite or allulose if desired.
Freeze minimally 6 hours or at night.
When you are ready to consume, leave it on the counter 10 minutes or sit in hot water 2 minutes). Make sure it is not too runny but still soft.
Place in the Ninja Creami on the “lite” setting. This will run for about 3 minutes. Check the consistency and if you want a creamier texture, run the mixture on the “gelato” setting. Depending on the desired texture, your settings will be determined. Enjoy!

“Keto gives me a life I longed for. No more meds! Lived as a pre-diabetic for 20 years until I started Keto. 17 months down the line, still a lifetime to go! Biggest regret. Waiting until I was 48 and had grandkids. I wish my kids could have seen this version of me when they were young!” -Angie
