NEW YORK, NY — As summer temperatures soar, the California Table Grape Commission is promoting frozen grapes as a versatile and healthy way to stay cool. In a press release issued June 24, 2026, the commission unveiled five frozen treat recipes that transform fresh grapes into refreshing snacks, emphasizing their natural sweetness, hydration, and ease of preparation.
‘Staying comfortable is simple with Grapes from California, which take ‘cool’ to the next level,’ the release states. ‘Freezing them turns each grape into its own mini sorbet – just rinse, dry and freeze for 2 hours.’ This approach offers a low-calorie, nutrient-rich alternative to processed frozen desserts, appealing to health-conscious consumers looking for guilt-free indulgence.
The five featured recipes include Chocolate-Dipped Frozen California Grape and Yogurt Clusters, which combine fresh grapes with tangy yogurt and rich chocolate for a balanced snack. Another option, Frozen-Yogurt California Grape and Coconut Bites, requires only three ingredients – grapes, Greek yogurt, and shredded coconut – making it a quick, tropical-inspired treat. For those seeking a sweet-and-spicy kick, the Hot Honey Frozen Yogurt, California Grape and Pecan Bark mixes juicy grapes with yogurt, pecans, and a drizzle of hot honey, offering a crunchy, flavorful bite.
Additional recipes include Frozen California Grape-Lemon Yogurt Cups, which layer granola, lemon yogurt, grape halves, and toasted almonds before freezing, and Swalty Frozen California Grapes, a simple combination of frozen grapes, lime juice, and Tajin seasoning for a salty-spicy finish. These recipes are designed to be prepared in advance and stored in the freezer, providing convenient, ready-to-eat snacks for hot afternoons or casual gatherings.
The timing of the announcement is significant as consumers increasingly seek healthier alternatives to traditional ice cream and popsicles, which are often high in added sugars and artificial ingredients. Grapes, naturally rich in water and antioxidants, offer a hydrating and nutrient-dense option. The California Table Grape Commission, representing growers in the state, is capitalizing on this trend by providing easy, family-friendly recipes that require minimal preparation.
