Description

This homemade dog ice cream recipe is a delightful and nutritious treat for your furry friend, made with simple, dog-safe ingredients like ripe bananas, plain Greek yogurt, and unsweetened peanut butter.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (unsweetened and xylitol-free)
  • 1/4 cup water


Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe bananas, plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened and xylitol-free peanut butter, and water. Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Pour Mixture into Molds: Pour the creamy mixture into ice cube trays or silicone molds. Using silicone molds in fun shapes like bones or paw prints can make the treat more engaging and enjoyable for your dog.
  3. Freeze the Mixture: Place the filled molds in the freezer. Freeze them for at least 2 hours or until the ice cream cubes are fully solidified and frozen through.
  4. Serve the Dog Ice Cream: Once frozen, carefully pop out the ice cream cubes from the molds. Serve the frozen treats as a refreshing and healthy cooldown snack for your dog.

Notes

  • Ensure the peanut butter used is unsweetened and free from xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
  • Use plain Greek yogurt without any added sugars or artificial sweeteners.
  • This recipe is great for warm weather to help your dog stay cool and hydrated.
  • Always introduce new treats gradually and monitor your dog for any adverse reactions.
  • Store leftover ice cream cubes in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
