- 1/2 cup peanut butter (unsweetened and xylitol-free)
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients:
In a blender or food processor, combine the bananas, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and water. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. - Fill the Molds:
Pour the mixture into ice cube trays or silicone molds. Silicone molds in fun shapes like bones or paw prints are great for making it more fun! - Freeze:

Notes
- Storage: Keep leftover ice cream cubes in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Alternatives: You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter (make sure they are xylitol-free). For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt.
- Moderation: Serve these ice cream cubes in moderation, as too much can upset your dog’s stomach.
- Freeze Bananas: For an extra thick, icy texture, freeze the bananas before blending.
- Serving Size: Give your dog one or two cubes as a special treat!
