I'm getting tired of smoothies, but I have a ton of frozen fruit in the freezer. It's mostly blueberries and raspberries, and some peaches. Anybody got good recipes for using up the fruit?

    Add some berries to greek yogurt and honey.

    Or make sorbet using your blender or food processor. Just take a cup of frozen fruit, add a few tablespoons of orange juice, and a packet of splenda.

    I've never done it, but can't you cook them down and eat them over like a whole wheat english muffin or something? Maybe even with yogurt, but that's a lot like a smoothie.

    I'm not a good cook.. interested to hear some more ideas! I have several bags of berries in my freezer as well!

    You can put it in water instead of ice and let it flavor the water and chill the water.

    You could use it to make a lower calorie version of stuffed french toast.

    I mix it into greek yogurt. I also just eat it partially frozen like jelly beans...especially berries. I don't really use it for anything except satisfying my sweetotooth. Go to the recipe section here and search for recipes with frozen fruit. Hope you find what you're looking for.

    make sorbet in a food processor, take a cup of frozen berries, I have used strawberries, peaches, cherries, bananas (not all at once of course)

    put half in chop in the food processor for a little bit until broken down some

    add a packet or two of splenda dilluted in water (one tablespoon and splenda throw in microwave for 10-15 seconds) and then add the splenda, water, and rest of berries and chop until a texture you like. Very good alternative to ice cream (the banana and strawberry together is good) the banana makes it creamier

    i put frozen blueberries in plan oatmeal with a little stevia. I bet it would be good with any fruit though...

    I like to thaw 1/2 to 1 cup and put over my whole grain toaster waffles instead of syrup. Lots of fiber, natural sugars, and one to two fruit servings.

    I actually jus started doing this for my 2 year old. He's pretty picky so this is a good way to sneak some goods in his diet without him knowing. Let your fruit thaw in the fridge and put it in a food processor until smooth. You might need to run through a seive depending on what you buy to make it smooth. Pour into little popsicle molds and freeze. He love his "pop juice" and I have done cherry and pineapple so far. I will continue to try different varieties and even try to sneak some veggies in!

    Place frozen fruit into processor with natural yoghurt, honey and mint leaves. When blended together it makes instant icecream for a quick and healthy dessert.
