Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt (low-fat or full-fat)
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (pureed or mashed)
Sweetener:
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional and only if approved by your vet)
Instructions
- Gently crush or blend blueberries into a smooth consistency, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Combine yogurt and honey in a mixing bowl, stirring until the mixture becomes uniform and glossy.
- Strategically place a small dollop of blueberry puree into each paw-shaped silicone cavity.
- Artfully swirl the blueberry puree using a toothpick, creating delicate marbled patterns throughout the mold.
- Carefully pour the yogurt mixture over the blueberry base, filling each mold to the brim without overflowing.
- Transfer the filled molds to the freezer, allowing them to solidify completely for approximately 3-4 hours at 0°F.
- Once fully frozen, gently extract the treats from the silicone molds by carefully pressing and releasing each shape.
- Serve the chilled treats immediately to your canine companion, or store in a sealed freezer container for future enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize the blueberry puree’s texture by mashing or pureeing to suit your dog’s preference, ensuring a smooth or slightly chunky consistency.
- Choose plain, unsweetened yogurt to avoid added sugars and artificial sweeteners that can harm dogs, focusing on probiotic-rich options for digestive health.
- Create variations by swapping blueberries with dog-safe fruits like strawberries or small amounts of banana for added nutritional diversity.
- Use silicone molds with fun shapes to make the treats more engaging and visually appealing for your furry friend, turning mealtime into a playful experience.
