First Post Photogenic First Anniversary I've been Money Tipped!
Hi I buy fresh fruit twice a week to go in my porridge and I have a fresh fruit salad about 5 times a week but last week while in Morrison I bought their Blackforest Frozen Fruit Mix 500g for £1.99 so today I added some to my porridge after defrosting and I must admit it was delicious so my question is could anyone recommend any other frozen fruits and maybe the best place to buy them. Thanks

    Possibly just me but I hate the way frozen fruit tastes mushy once defrosted.

    I bought Sainsbury's fruit salad mix several years ago and it was disgusting! Tasted nothing like fruit at all! :)

    I agree with you about fruit salad mix but I dont think freezing has a detrimental effect on berries.

    I use frozen berries in jugs of Pimms. They act like ice cubes, chilling the drink, without diluting it. I always get compliments on my Pimms!

    Another vote for these, they're really good value for the money. They're especially great in winter if you fancy a berry crumble or some compote for breakfast, and they make nice smoothies too.

    Another vote for Sainsbury Bluberries. I usually buy when they are 3 for £5. Fab with porridge or into yoghurt.:D

    Often if you go to a late market, you can pick up raspberries/blackcurrants at a fraction of the cost, just wahs them, spread them out on kitchen paper, dry a little, pop them back in their box and freeze. Much cheaper than supermarket fruit.

    Even at full price I got 2 decent punnets of raspberries for £1. I get about a dozen and freeze them or make jam.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Do you have a blender. I can see you look after your health.

    My daily dose of fruit and veg
    Raspberries
    strawberries
    half a banana
    half a carrot
    2 sprouts (I promise, you just cannot detect them)
    mixed nuts.
    some fruit juice.

    Lasts me all day and it really is lovely
    I do this because I hate all vegetables and this way I get them into my system.
