As temperatures rise in summer, many people look for refreshing frozen treats. The Facebook page Fresh Agriculture YA – Taiwan Agriculture and Food Agency recently shared a DIY recipe for frozen yogurt bark, showing how seasonal fruits, unsweetened yogurt and locally produced honey can be turned into a healthy and refreshing snack. The recipe is simple enough for families to make together during the summer holidays.

According to the page, summer is the peak season for tropical fruits in Taiwan, including mangoes, bananas, pineapples, passion fruit, dragon fruit, peaches, watermelons and lychees. Besides enjoying them fresh, these fruits are also ideal for juices, smoothies and frozen desserts. Frozen yogurt bark has become increasingly popular because it is easy to prepare with readily available ingredients while providing both fruit and dairy nutrition.

To make it, simply spread unsweetened yogurt evenly on a tray, add diced seasonal fruits, drizzle with a little locally produced honey if desired, then freeze for four to six hours. Once frozen, cut it into bite-sized pieces. The natural sweetness of the fruit combined with the tangy yogurt creates a crisp and refreshing summer snack.

Seasonal fruits can be mixed and matched throughout the year, allowing people to enjoy different flavors with each season. Choosing locally grown seasonal fruits also supports Taiwan's fruit growers while delivering the freshest taste possible.
