6 Brilliant Uses for Frozen Fruit

simple + delicious

No freezer is complete without some frozen fruit. Fresh fruit is available only a few short months out of the year, and frozen fruit allows us to enjoy the sweet taste of summer year round. Check out some fun and unique uses below!

 1. Flavored Ice Cubes: Freeze a few berries in your ice cube tray for a fun, simple addition to sparkling water, still water, iced tea, and lemonade!

2. Blackberry Smoothie: Who ever said smoothies are only for the summer? Forget them, you don’t need those people. Follow this simple recipe for a creamy, nutritious smoothie:

2 cups Frozen Blackberries (#749400)
1 cup Kemps Vanilla Yogurt (#153110)
1 cup Kemps Reduced Fat Milk (#149658)
1 Small Banana (#114223)

Combine all ingredients in blender. Blend until thick and smooth, about 2 minutes. Makes two large smoothies.

Make it your own! Sub coconut milk for reduced fat milk and garnish with toasted coconut for a Blackberry Coconut Smoothie. Or add a few fresh mint leaves for a Blackberry Mint Smoothie.

3. Berry Compound Butter: Berries and butter? You say madness, we say brilliance. Gently mix 1 cup of thawed blackberries with 1 lb. of softened butter, just until the berries start to break down. Goes great with pancakes, French toast, muffins, scones, you name it!

4. Cheesecake Topping: Thawed berries are a bright and delicious addition to cheesecake and other desserts. Sprinkle them on the plate or over the dessert, drizzle with sauce, and serve!

5. Ice Cream, Berries, and Fudge: Top off a bowl of delicious vanilla ice cream with some barely-thawed berries, then drizzle it with piping hot fudge! Or swap out the fudge with melted white chocolate if you want to get real wild.

6. Strawberry Banana Smoothie: It’s the perfect morning, afternoon, or “whenever you feel like it” treat. And it’s so easy to make.

1 cup Frozen Strawberries (#749904)
1 cup Kemps Vanilla Yogurt (#153110)
1 cup Kemps Reduced Fat Milk (#149658)
1 Medium Banana (#114223)
