Many of the best smoothie recipes and frozen blender drinks require you to freeze fruit or vegetables, so it’s always a good idea to have plenty prepared and ready for use in the freezer.

Buying fresh fruits and vegetables in bulk when they are in season to freeze can save you a great deal of money. It’s also important not to waste any leftover fruits and vegetables to spoil, especially when they are so easy to freeze.

• Whole fruit – Cut the fruit into large chunks or slices.  Place the slices individually onto a backing tray that’s been lined with parchment paper. Then freeze before tipping them into a zip-lock bag to stop them from sticking together.
• Berries – Need to be individually placed onto a backing tray that’s been lined with parchment paper Then freeze before tipping them into a zip-lock bag to stop them from sticking together.
