You can use this tropical fruit blend directly from the package. For smoothies, simply add the frozen fruit to your blender with your preferred liquid and other ingredients.

The combination of fruits is carefully selected for a balanced flavor profile, which might differ from individual fruits you might choose yourself. The freezing process can also affect texture slightly compared to freshly cut fruit.
