Prepare the Ingredients:
Slice the banana into small pieces and chop the strawberries into small chunks. If using frozen strawberries, make sure they are thawed first. -
Blend the Mixture:
Place the banana, strawberries, and yogurt into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. If desired, add a tablespoon of honey for sweetness, but make sure it’s safe for your dog (optional). -
Fill the Molds:
Pour the mixture into ice cube trays, silicone molds, or silicone cupcake liners. You can also use a mini muffin tin for bite-sized portions. -
Freeze the Bites:
Place the filled molds in the freezer for about 2-3 hours, or until completely frozen and firm. -
Serve and Store:
Once the bites are frozen, remove them from the molds and store them in an airtight container or a freezer bag. Keep them in the freezer for up to 2-3 weeks. Serve one or two as an occasional treat for your dog.
Notes
- Make sure to check with your vet before introducing new treats to your dog’s diet, especially if your dog has any allergies.
- You can also substitute the strawberries with other dog-safe fruits like blueberries or peaches (avoid any toxic fruits such as grapes or cherries).
- For a more refreshing treat, add a small amount of water to the mixture and make ice pops instead!
