Frozen Fruit for Smoothie and Juice Bars
IQF fruit, smoothie packs and purees that blend the same way every time, so every smoothie on your menu tastes like the last one.
Smoothie and juice bars go through fruit fast, and fresh fruit prices swing every week. Frozen fruit fixes both problems. Our IQF fruit is frozen within hours of picking, so it blends thick and cold without extra ice, and it costs the same in January as it does in July.
Berries, mango, pineapple and banana that blend smooth and taste the same in every cup.
Ginger and turmeric that turn a short pour into a menu item people come back for.
Acai and dragon fruit packs for bowls and seasonal specials without new prep steps.
IQF smoothie packs contain a set portion of frozen fruit, so staff can open a pack and blend without weighing or measuring. Every drink comes out the same, waste goes down and service gets faster at peak hours.
Patagonia Foods works with smoothie and juice operators on pack portions and fruit blends that fit their menu.

Graded whole fruit is sorted by size before freezing, so every case contains fruit within a defined size range. Buyers can pick the grade that fits their product, from small berries for bakery to large berries for retail and presentation.
Patagonia Foods supplies graded whole fruit in small, medium and large sizes, subject to crop availability.
IQF chunks are peeled, cut into consistent bite-size pieces and frozen one by one, so they pour loose from the bag instead of freezing into a block. Operators can portion exactly what a recipe needs and return the rest to the freezer.
Patagonia Foods packs IQF chunks close to harvest at origin, which locks in color, flavor and texture. Chunks are our most popular format for smoothie chains, foodservice and private label retail programs.

IQF sliced fruit is cut to a consistent thickness before freezing, so slices bake evenly and look uniform on the finished product. Each slice is frozen individually and stays free flowing in the case.
Bakeries and dessert manufacturers choose sliced fruit when presentation matters. Patagonia Foods can discuss slice thickness and tolerances to match your line.
Grade A whole fruit meets the strictest standards for color, size and defects. It is the grade for products where the fruit is on display, from retail bags to dessert garnishes.
Patagonia Foods supplies Grade A whole fruit with documentation available on request.
The 95/5 grade means at least 95% of the fruit is whole, with no more than 5% broken. It is the top grade for applications where every piece is seen.
Retailers and premium dessert makers choose 95/5 for consistent, attractive fruit.
IQF whole fruit is cleaned, sorted and frozen whole, so each piece keeps its natural shape and stays loose in the bag. It is the most versatile format, used everywhere from muffins to smoothies to retail packs.
Patagonia Foods freezes whole fruit at origin, close to harvest, to hold the color and flavor buyers expect. Organic and conventional options vary by fruit.
IQF 3/8 inch diced is cut to a tight, even cube so it distributes evenly through batters, doughs, yogurt and fruit preparations. The small size thaws quickly and holds its shape through mixing.
Manufacturers use diced fruit when they need consistent piece size from batch to batch. Patagonia Foods can supply diced product to your spec, with size tolerances documented on request.
