The short answer:
Frozen produce is at most times more nutritious than their fresh counterparts.

The long answer:
Fresh fruit and veg is often picked before it is ripe, to allow time for them to fully ripen during transportation (which can take from a few days to several weeks).

This gives them less time to develop a full range of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Nutritional values begin to decline immediately after harvesting and continue to do so during storage.

Fresh produce is generally stored in a chilled, controlled atmosphere and sometimes treated with chemicals to prevent spoiling during transit.

After which it may spend an additional 1-3 days on supermarket shelves, and then in homes for up to 7 days before being eaten.

Our Grade A frozen fruit and veg is only picked at peak ripeness, and are all individually quick frozen (IQF) within 2 hours of harvesting, locking in the vitamins and minerals, maintaining their nutritional value.

It also gives the produce a much longer shelve life without the use of preserving chemicals.

Studies have shown that frozen fruit and veg retain a similar nutritional value to their fresh counterparts and often many fruit and veg actually retain more nutrients when they’re frozen than fresh.

Yes, any and all fruit and veg used in our smoothie sachets are Grade A IQF produce.

Each one of our smoothie sachets is designed to produce 500ml of smoothie.
