Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, no xylitol)
- 1/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen, hulled and chopped)
- 1/4 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 banana (ripe and mashed)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mashed banana, and honey (if using). Stir until smooth and well-blended.
- If using fresh berries, wash them thoroughly and pat dry. Chop strawberries into small pieces. If using frozen berries, ensure they are free from added sugars or preservatives.
- Gently fold the blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries into the yogurt mixture until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the yogurt mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray, filling each mold about three-quarters full.
- Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully frozen.
- Once frozen, pop the bites out of the molds and serve to your dog. Supervise your dog while enjoying this treat.
Notes
- If your dog is lactose intolerant, use a dairy-free yogurt alternative like coconut or almond yogurt, ensuring it contains no xylitol.
- You can substitute the berries with other dog-safe fruits like apples or pears (remove seeds and pits).
- For an added crunch, consider mixing in dog-safe nuts or seeds.
