Frozen vs. Fresh fruit

Same here, blend them with cocunut milk and you get an instant ice cream!

Love them, much cheaper than fresh and obv last longer

Used to go to Leicester market at the end of the day to pick up cheap fruit - coming back with about 6kg of bananas was not productive shopping. That turned into a whole lot of smoothie!

I use frozen, much cheaper and are so handy to have in the freezer and yes this way you dont have to add ice hahaha

I love using frozen when im using berries, and I have actually read that more often than not the frozen fruit can actually be better as it tends to be frozen quickly after being picked, where as with fresh it often is sitting in the supermarket ect a while before you use it!plus when you havent space for ice its a lifesaver!it does work out cheaper too :)

I saw Nigella Lawson using frozen Banana instead of ice, tried it and it was great. Then she started talking in that husky voice again and I forgot what I was meant to be mixing DOH!!

Hmmm.. Maybe I will try frozen. Greath input guys, thanks!

I buy my berries frozen...everything else i buy fresh....But if pineapple or mangoes are too pricey i go frozen on those.

Funny story.  I froze my banana like lots of you said but it was a little over-ripe and I couldn't get the peel to come off . haha

If the banana is over ripe, cut the peel off with a sharp knife by putting the banana under warm water for 30 seconds they cut off peel.

Love tthe frozen fruit! Makes smoothies nice and thick!

A favorite recipe: 1 cup almond milk, 1 cup frozen berries, scoop whey protein powder, scoop of Greens +(vanilla flavor) 2 heaping tsps toasted wheat germ, 1/2 tsp maca root powder....blend until smooth

I use organic frozen fruits most of the time. They are so much easier to deal with. :)

Does anyone know if fruits lose its nutrients when frozen?

Hi @elizabethm12 I think frozen actually can be higher in vitamins (or at least that's what the Birdseye Field Fresh advert says!) the main difference with frozen is more about the trexture change I think

Thanks @cags R! That makes a lot of sense. On my way to the frozen food section then!

I just got a 2 pound bag of frozen blueberries at the store....I think I did a little happy dance.

I also freeze spare fruits if I end up buying more than I can use.  Chop first and then just chuck in the blender when you are ready for your next smoothie!

I buy a lot of fresh fruit in the summer months when they tend to be inexpensive & freeze them. We are lucky in Québec, berries grow just about every where & any where and fruit is always on sale. I tend to buy Mangoes pre-frozen  & freeze bananas, pineapples, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, honeydew & cantaloupe.
