Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana – Adds natural sweetness, potassium, and a smooth, creamy texture.
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries – Adds antioxidants and a boost of natural sweetness.
- 1 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt – Adds protein, calcium, and gut-friendly probiotics.
- 1 tbsp natural peanut butter (xylitol-free) – Adds an irresistible flavor boost. Always double-check the label for xylitol before use.
Optional Add-Ins
Customize your banana blueberry bones with any of these dog-safe extras:
- 2 tbsp pumpkin purée (100% pure pumpkin) – Supports digestive health and adds extra fiber. Use plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
- 2 tbsp unsweetened coconut water – Adds extra hydration and natural electrolytes.
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed – A source of omega-3 fatty acids that may support skin and coat health.
- 2 tbsp finely shredded carrots – Adds crunch, fiber, and beta-carotene.
- 2 tbsp old-fashioned rolled oats – Adds fiber and a slightly heartier texture
Instructions
This recipe comes together with just a few minutes of hands-on prep time.
Wash the blueberries thoroughly if you’re using fresh berries.
Add the banana, blueberries, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter to a blender or food processor.
Blend the mixture until it’s completely smooth and creamy, with no chunks of banana or blueberry remaining.
If you’re using any optional add-ins, such as pumpkin purée, coconut water, flaxseed, shredded carrots, or rolled oats, gently stir them into the blended mixture. This helps distribute chunkier ingredients evenly throughout the mixture.
Pour or spoon the mixture into silicone bone-shaped molds for a fun, functional shape that’s easy for your dog to hold and enjoy.
Tap the filled molds gently on the counter a few times to release any trapped air bubbles, resulting in a smoother, more solid finished treat.
Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for 4–6 hours, or until the yogurt bones are completely firm all the way through.
Once frozen, pop the bones out of their molds and transfer them to an airtight, freezer-safe container to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.
Serve one frozen bone as a refreshing snack or reward, any time your pup deserves a little extra love.
