Nutrition - Frozen fruit versus fresh fruit

How much better is fresh fruit as compared to frozen?

• Strawberries
• Blueberries
• Raspberries
• Blackberries

When I make a smoothie with frozen 4-berry blend it is very tasty and much more convenient and cheaper than using fresh fruit. Due to the very good taste of frozen fruit I assume that not much nutrition is lost during freezing.

Most frozen fruit and vegetables are picked at the peak of ripeness and flash frozen to ensure the best possible product. Look for added sugars or preservatives to make sure it is in fact all natural. Frozen fruits and veggies are convenient and last a long time.

I like the tropical fruit blend with mangos, bananas and strawberries in it. I can't imagine there would be a huge nutritional difference from fresh since it's flash-frozen like Big AAPL said.
