What it is

To make a smoothie, combine the frozen fruit blend with your preferred liquid, such as milk, yogurt, or juice, in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. For a thicker consistency, use less liquid. This blend can also be used as a base for homemade sorbets or frozen yogurt by blending with a small amount of sweetener and liquid, then refreezing.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh fruit, this blend is pre-frozen, eliminating the need for ice and ensuring a consistently cold and thick smoothie. It offers a uniform mix of strawberry and banana flavors, whereas separate fruits might vary in ripeness and sweetness.

How to keep the rest
Keep the remaining blend frozen in its original packaging or an airtight container. Ensure it is stored at a consistent temperature to prevent thawing and refreezing, which can affect texture. Proper storage maintains the quality and flavor of the fruit blend.
