The Costco frozen berries are delicious! I love throwing a bunch in a bowl as a sweet treat after dinner. The oatmeal idea is great—do you not defrost them before adding them?
Yum! You could defrost them but in a hot bowl of oatmeal they tend to warm up/defrost pretty fast. I also don’t mind them a bit frozen still but you can play around with different ways to enjoy them.
I throw them in my oatmeal as well! And yes I haven’t bought fresh berries for months. They’re out of season, taste bad, and they’re being flown here on airplanes? It makes you appreciate the fresh ones in season.
Spoken like a Seasonalist!! And 100% agree— it makes berry season so much sweeter! The day those first strawberries appear at the farmers market is a holiday in our house. 🥳
Yes it's true! Unless you pick berries right off a bush in your backyard, the frozen ones are typically flash-frozen on the spot, and thus, their peak nutritional value is stored away in them. Yum almond butter and berries!!
I didn't think about how buying fresh berries out of season impacted the environment. Thank you for sharing! Dean has been making tons of smoothies lately. Recently we were out of fresh berries so I threw a handful of the frozen berries he uses into the pot while I was making oatmeal and it was so tasty. I'll be repeating that now instead of getting fresh berries!
I love that I can always count on them in my freezer! I learned about it in early 2020 (pre-covid) when the Australian fires were raging and decided then and there to choose frozen over fresh in the off-season. It's made fresh berry season all the sweeter, we get so giddy over that first carton of berries from the farmer's market!! Little joys.
My favorite treat anytime of year is a bowl of Kirkland frozen organic blueberries. Why are they so good?! Sweeter than almost any fresh blueberry I’ve ever eaten. (And extra special when dumped over a shortcake biscuit and topped with heavy cream that freezes on the blueberries 😋)
Yes, Costco frozen berries are where it is at!! Oooo I have some Trader JOe's vegan heavy whipping cream in my fridge right now, I'll have to try this!
we love frozen berries around here! my kids snack on them on their own too hehehe my dad actually went blueberry picking several times over the summer at a farm near us and picked over 70lbs of blueberries which we froze a good bit of to be enjoying through the off season. such a delight to have a perfect ripe berries on hand whenever we want some!

I love blueberries in my oatmeal with a Tbsp. Of almond butter. Frozen berries are just as nutritious as fresh I’ve heard.

A bowl of blueberries is my favourite mid-morning snack!
What a gift to live in a world where we have blueberries! 🥲

We are all about this in our family, too!!
Soooo yummy in oatmeal, which is warm and delish on a cold day, like today!
I love this reminder! I just picked up some frozen cherries and they’ve given me such joy.
