Frozen Strawberries and Other Fruits

When making smoothies, The Breakdown Café loves using frozen fruit because the frozen fruit helps keep the smoothie cold while preventing the smoothie from becoming watered down from melting ice cubes.

We have used and sampled a variety of brands of frozen berries and other fruits. We found the three brands (pictured to the left) to be the best performers. They are Whole Strawberries from Private Selection, Schwan's Whole Strawberries, and Simple Truth Organic Whole Strawberries.

 

When we opened the bags, the aroma of fresh picked Strawberries filled the air and the taste proved to be satisfying and delicious. The fruits from Great Value had an odd aroma and flavor.

The Simple Truth and Private Selection berries both earned an A rating because each bag of fruit only provided enough strawberries for 3 smoothies. Schwan's earned  an A+ rating because there was enough berries to make 6 smoothies.  All of these berries were priced affordably and the taste did not disappoint. 

The Great Value fruit rated an F. The aroma and taste of the fruit was less than desirable.
