Instructions

This recipe comes together with just a few minutes of hands-on prep time.

Step 1: Wash the Spinach

Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry.

Step 2: Blend the Base Ingredients

Add the banana, Greek yogurt, spinach, and peanut butter to a blender or food processor.

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth

Blend the mixture until it’s completely smooth and creamy, with the spinach fully incorporated and no visible leafy pieces remaining.

Step 4: Stir in Optional Add-Ins

If you’re using any optional add-ins, such as pumpkin purée, blueberries, flaxseed, applesauce, or shredded carrots, gently stir them into the blended mixture by hand. This helps distribute chunkier ingredients evenly throughout the mixture.

Step 5: Fill Your Molds

Pour the mixture into silicone paw-print molds, bone-shaped molds, or a standard ice cube tray, depending on what you have on hand and the treat size you’d like.

Step 6: Remove Air Bubbles

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.

Step 7: Freeze Until Firm

Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for 4–6 hours, or until the treats are completely firm all the way through.

Step 8: Pop and Store

Once frozen, pop the treats out of their molds and transfer them to an airtight, freezer-safe container to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.

Step 9: Serve as a Cool Reward

Serve one or two frozen treats as a cool reward or snack, any time your pup deserves a little extra love.
