    5 Delicious Ways You Can Use Frozen Fruit

    June 28, 2021 | by Kelsey Sackmann | Leave a Comment

    Frozen fruit is a fantastic way to capture the freshest, ripest flavor of the summer. It's picked at the height of ripeness and flash-frozen to help maintain flavor and nutrients. Not to mention they're affordable and versatile!

    Are frozen fruits bad for you?

    Frozen fruits and vegetables are just as good for you as their fresh counterparts. "Naked" (no added salt or sugar) produce is the norm so it's incredibly easy to find frozen fruits or veggies with one ingredient - the food itself. So go ahead, take a stroll down the freezer aisle and throw a couple bags in your cart.

    5 ways to use frozen fruit

    Spoiler: no smoothie recipes in sight.

    Make jam

    If you need a sweet topping for things like yogurt and pancakes, frozen berries are the BEST. I always have Raspberry Chia Seed Jam in my fridge, especially when I'm craving PB&J pancakes.

    Just add your frozen berries to a saucepan, stir occasionally until it comes to a boil, and mix with chia seeds.

    have them as a snack

    You can eat frozen berries, mango or pineapple chunks right out of the bag! It's the perfect snack when you're in the mood for something sweet.

    make frozen yogurt

    Blend your way to the ultimate healthy dessert. Make a customizable frozen yogurt in just 5-minutes by placing your choice of fruit, greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract in a blender. Get the full deets for this protein and fiber packed snack on my Instagram! 

    Mix up a vinaigrette 

    Next time you're shopping for a sweet vinaigrette, grab frozen raspberries or strawberries instead. Try a DIY dressing using frozen berries, oil, lemon, and herbs. Same great taste, no added sugar. 

    Make French Toast

    I love frozen berry or banana French toast with chopped nuts for breakfast. Bake, or pop in the microwave for a 2-minute French toast in a mug!
