Explanation at your level:

In A1, you learn that 'bli' means 'to become' and 'frisk' means 'healthy'. You use this to say you are not sick anymore. It is a simple way to talk about your body. You can say 'Jag vill bli frisk' (I want to get well). It is very important for basic talk.
At the A2 level, you start using 'bli frisk' in different tenses. You can talk about the past ('Jag blev frisk igår') or the future ('Jag blir nog frisk snart'). You also learn to use it when talking to friends who are sick, often paired with 'hoppas' (hope).
In B1, you understand the nuance between 'bli frisk' and 'bli bättre'. You use 'bli frisk' to describe a complete recovery. You also start to use it in subordinate clauses, like 'Eftersom jag har blivit frisk kan jag jobba imorgon' (Since I have become well, I can work tomorrow).
At B2, you recognize 'bli frisk' as a standard collocation and can compare it with more formal terms like 'tillfriskna'. You use it fluently in discussions about health systems or personal well-being, and you correctly apply adjective agreement (frisk/friskt/friska) without thinking.
C1 learners analyze the etymological link between 'frisk' and 'freshness'. You use the phrase in complex argumentative contexts, perhaps discussing the psychological aspects of 'att bli frisk' versus just 'att inte vara sjuk'. You master the subtle registers where 'bli frisk' is preferred over 'bli återställd'.
At C2, you have a near-native grasp of the phrase's cognitive linguistics. You understand how 'bli frisk' fits into the Swedish conceptual metaphor of health as a state of purity. You can use it ironically, metaphorically, or in highly specialized medical-social discourses with perfect prosody and context.
