Scale
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- ½ cup natural, unsalted peanut butter (xylitol-free)
- 1 cup plain, unsweetened yogurt
- (Optional) A splash of water or unsweetened almond milk to blend
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel the ripe bananas and measure out the natural, unsalted peanut butter and plain, unsweetened yogurt to have everything ready for blending.
- Blend Mixture: Combine the bananas, peanut butter, and yogurt in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick and hard to blend, add a small splash of water or unsweetened almond milk to help achieve a creamy consistency.
- Pour Into Molds: Spoon or pour the blended mixture into an ice cube tray or silicone mold. Bone-shaped molds work great for a fun presentation.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and chill for at least 4-6 hours or until the treats are completely solid.
- Serve and Store: Pop out an ice cube treat and serve immediately to your dog. Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Ensure the peanut butter used is xylitol-free, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- Use plain, unsweetened yogurt to avoid added sugars and artificial ingredients.
- Feel free to use water or unsweetened almond milk to adjust blending consistency.
- Freeze treats in silicone molds for easy removal and fun shapes.
- Store treats properly to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.
