Ingredients You’ll Need
Makes 6–8 servings
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, no artificial sweeteners like xylitol—they’re toxic to dogs!)
- 1 ripe banana , peeled and sliced
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter (unsweetened and unsalted, ensure it’s xylitol-free)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (optional, for added fiber and nutrients)
- 1 tsp honey (optional, for sweetness—skip if your dog doesn’t need the extra sugar)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
- In a blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, banana slices, peanut butter, and pumpkin puree (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
- If adding honey, blend it in at this stage.
Step 2: Pour into Molds
- Pour the mixture into silicone ice cube trays, popsicle molds, or small paper cups.
- If using paper cups, cover them with foil and insert a small dog biscuit or stick into each cup to create a “pup-sicle.”
Step 3: Freeze
- Place the molds or cups in the freezer and freeze for 4–6 hours , or until completely solid.
Step 4: Serve
- Once frozen, pop the treats out of the molds and serve one to your pup. Watch their tail wag with joy!
