Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (about 10 whole) strawberries – Fresh or frozen, washed and stems removed.
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt – Ensure it’s unsweetened and free of additives or xylitol.
- ¼ cup water – Helps achieve a smooth consistency during blending.
Substitutions: Use unsweetened coconut yogurt for lactose-intolerant dogs. You can also add a teaspoon of dog-safe peanut butter (xylitol-free) for extra flavor.
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash fresh strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems. If using frozen strawberries, measure directly without thawing.
- Blend Ingredients: Add strawberries, Greek yogurt, and water to a blender or food processor. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture should resemble a thick smoothie.
- Fill Molds: Pour the blended mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray, filling each cavity to the top but not overflowing.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer on a flat surface and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
- Serve & Store: Once frozen, pop the treats out of the molds and serve one to your pup! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 8 weeks.
Notes
Serving Suggestions
- Serve directly from the freezer as a standalone treat or crumble over your dog’s meal for added excitement.
Tips & Tricks
- Use organic strawberries to avoid pesticide residue.
- For smoother blending, add a little extra water if needed, but keep the mixture thick enough to hold its shape when frozen.
Storage & Reheating
- Store treats in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 8 weeks.
- No reheating required—serve straight from the freezer! Let sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes if too hard.
