Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the plain Greek yogurt, blueberries, honey (if using), and water. Blend the ingredients until they form a smooth, well-combined mixture with no lumps.
- Fill the molds: Pour the blended mixture into silicone paw print molds or any small silicone molds of your choice. Tap the molds gently on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles for a better texture.
- Freeze the treats: Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 3 hours or until solid to achieve the ideal frozen treat consistency.
- Serve and store: Once frozen, carefully pop the treats out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to serve. Offer these cool treats to your dog on hot days as a healthy reward.
Notes
- Use plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt to avoid added sugars or artificial sweeteners that may be harmful to dogs.
- Honey is optional; omit it for dogs with sensitivities or puppies under one year old.
- Always consult your veterinarian before introducing new ingredients into your dog’s diet.
- If fresh blueberries are not available, frozen blueberries work just as well.
- Ensure the treats are appropriately sized to prevent choking hazards based on your dog’s size.
