Peanut Butter & Greek Yogurt Frozen Dog Treat Bites - Easy, Cool, and Pup-Approved
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt (no flavors, no sugar, no xylitol)
- 1 /2 cup natural peanut butter (look for ingredients that list only peanuts or peanuts and salt)
- 1 ripe banana, mashed (or 1/2 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree as an alternative)
- 2–4 tablespoons water (as needed to thin the mixture for easier pouring)
- Optional add-ins: 1–2 teaspoons honey (for dogs who tolerate it; skip for puppies under 1 year)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds
- A few blueberries or small apple pieces (no seeds)
Instructions
- Prep your tools: Set out silicone molds, an ice cube tray, or mini muffin tin with liners. Silicone molds release most easily.
- Mix the base: In a bowl or blender, combine Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and banana.
Blend or stir until smooth and creamy. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it’s pourable but still thick.
- Taste-check the ingredients (for safety): Confirm there’s no xylitol in the peanut butter. Make sure the yogurt is plain and unsweetened.
- Add extras if you want: Stir in flaxseed, chia, or a few fruit pieces.
Keep chunks small to freeze evenly.
- Fill the molds: Pour or spoon the mixture into your tray. Tap gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Freeze: Place the tray flat in the freezer for 3–4 hours, or until solid. Larger molds may need a bit longer.
- Unmold and store: Pop the bites out and transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.
Label with the date.
- Serve: Offer 1–2 bites for small dogs, 2–3 for medium dogs, and 3–4 for large dogs as an occasional treat, not a meal.
