- ½ cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
- ¼ cup water or unsweetened coconut milk
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe bananas, plain Greek yogurt, natural peanut butter, and water or unsweetened coconut milk. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Fill Molds: Pour the blended mixture into silicone molds, ice cube trays, or small paper cups, distributing evenly to create single servings for your dog.

Notes
- Always use xylitol-free peanut butter, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- You can add dog-safe ingredients like finely chopped carrots, blueberries, or cooked sweet potato for extra variety.
- Serve in moderation based on your dog’s size and dietary requirements to maintain health.
