Ingredients
- 16 ounces plain Greek yogurt: Use unsweetened yogurt without added sugar or artificial sweeteners. Greek yogurt works best for its thick texture and high protein content.
- 1½ tablespoons natural unsweetened almond butter (or peanut butter): Ensure it’s xylitol-free as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- 1 medium ripe banana, sliced: Adds natural sweetness and creaminess.
Substitutions
- Replace almond butter with peanut butter if preferred (just ensure it’s xylitol-free).
- For lactose-intolerant dogs, use coconut or almond-based yogurt.
Instructions
Place silicone molds or ice cube trays on a baking sheet for easy transfer to the freezer.
In a food processor or blender, combine yogurt, almond/peanut butter, and banana slices. Blend until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be thick but pourable.
Pro Tip: If it’s too thick, add a splash of water or extra yogurt to adjust the consistency.
Pour the blended mixture into a measuring cup with a spout for easier pouring. Fill each mold cavity to the top. Tap the baking sheet gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
Transfer the baking sheet with molds to the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours or until completely solid.
Once frozen, gently pop the treats out of the molds. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.
Notes
Serving Suggestions
- Serve straight from the freezer as a refreshing treat.
- For larger dogs, use bigger molds or stack two treats together.
Tips & Tricks
- Use silicone molds shaped like paws or bones for a fun touch!
- Tap molds after filling to remove any air bubbles for smoother treats.
Storage & Reheating
- Store frozen treats in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to one month.
- No reheating needed—serve frozen! For softer treats, let them sit at room temperature for about 1–2 minutes before serving.
