To use, simply remove the desired amount from the freezer. For smoothies, add directly to your blender with liquids and other ingredients. For other uses, allow the fruit to thaw slightly at room temperature or in the refrigerator until it reaches your preferred consistency. It can be incorporated into baked goods, sauces, or served as a refreshing side dish. The frozen state helps maintain its structure when added to cold preparations.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh fruit, this frozen blend is pre-cut and ready to use, eliminating prep time. The flash-freezing process locks in flavor and nutrients, and it offers a consistent taste and texture year-round, regardless of seasonal availability.

How to keep the rest
Keep this frozen fruit blend in your freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or colder. Once thawed, do not refreeze. Store any unused portion in its original packaging or an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and maintain quality.
