Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, only if approved by your vet)
- 1–2 tablespoons water (as needed for blending)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash, hull, and chop the fresh strawberries into small pieces for easier blending.
- Blend Mixture: Add the strawberries, Greek yogurt, and honey (if using) into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, gradually adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of water as needed to achieve a pourable consistency suitable for molding.
- Fill Molds: Pour the blended mixture into silicone molds, ice cube trays, or small paper cups to form individual treats.
- Freeze: Place the filled molds into the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until solidly frozen.
- Serve: Once frozen, pop the treats out of their molds and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Serve one treat at a time as a cool snack for your dog to enjoy on warm days.
Notes
- Use plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt without artificial sweeteners such as xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Feel free to substitute strawberries with blueberries, bananas, or pumpkin purée to vary flavors.
- Serve these treats in moderation as a supplement to your dog’s regular diet, not as a meal replacement.
