To use, simply remove the desired amount from the freezer. For smoothies, combine with yogurt, milk, or juice and blend until smooth. For fruit bowls, thaw slightly and serve as a topping. It can also be blended into frozen desserts or added to batters for muffins and cakes. The fruits will soften as they thaw, making them easy to mix into various recipes. Ensure the remaining product is resealed tightly to prevent freezer burn.
