I did a lot of frozen fruit in the beginning of my intro to this lifestyle.  Personally I really don't enjoy frozen or cold foods much, but every now and then I enjoy it.  Also, if I have no ripe, fresh fruit, I might have one or two frozen meals a day.  If I have fresh greens I like to eat them straight.  Green smoothies are an occasional thing for me.

Usually my frozen percentage is probably less than 20% a week.  I think it is technically okay...but you're not getting the nutrients you could be getting with fresh fruit.

I make smoothies that are mostly fresh fruit, then add a little frozen fruit in for variety. It also brings the temperature down to cool but not cold. I'm very happy with this and have no intention of giving it up.

I think its in the 811 diet book, but eating a lot of frozen will harm your beneficial intestinal bacteria (flora) and causes all kind of unbalance. Do some searching on this forum and you will find some more information.

When I have smoothies, I have a banana-frozen strawberry smoothie, with maybe 2-300g of strawberries. So long as you don't overdo it (meaning you don't only eat frozen fruit, which'd be really, really hard anyway), I don't see any problem with it.
