Description
A simple, refreshing, and dog-safe frozen treat made with just three ingredients. Perfect for cooling down your furry friend on a hot day!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup plain, unsweetened yogurt (Greek or regular)
- 1/4 cup natural, unsalted peanut butter (ensure it is Xylitol-free)
Instructions
- Place the sliced bananas in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
- Once frozen, transfer the banana slices to a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Add the plain yogurt and Xylitol-free peanut butter to the food processor.
- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and resembles soft-serve ice cream. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides several times.
- Spoon the mixture into silicone ice cube trays, small muffin tins, or specialized dog treat molds.
- Freeze for a minimum of 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- To serve, let the ‘pupsicle’ sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before popping out of the mold. Supervise your dog while enjoying this treat.
Notes
- Always check your peanut butter label to ensure it contains absolutely no Xylitol (birch sugar), as it is highly toxic to dogs.
- For a different texture, you can freeze the mixture in a loaf pan and scoop it out like traditional ice cream.
- This recipe can be made dairy-free by substituting the yogurt with unsweetened coconut cream or plain, unsweetened almond milk.
