Step 1

Prepare a baking sheet (with at least 1/2 in. lip) by laying a piece of parchment paper flat onto the baking sheet.

Step 2

Wash berries with cold water or fruit wash, and transfer them onto paper towels and allow them to dry completely.

Step 3

Once dry, prepare berries by removing stems, leaves, and any overly ripe berries.

Step 4

Transfer berries onto the baking sheet, making sure to spread them out evenly. It’s best if the berries are not touching one another so that they don’t freeze together.

Step 5

Freeze for around 30-60 minutes or until berries are hard and completely frozen.

Step 6

Remove from the freezer and use a spatula to scrape frozen berries off of the baking sheet.

Step 7

Transfer blueberries into a freezer-safe gallon-size bag. Remove as much air from the bag as possible and seal tightly.

Step 8

Store berries in the freezer for easy access to smoothies and baking for up to 3 months.
