Instructions

Making these pup cups couldn’t be easier. Here’s how to do it from start to finish.

Step 1: Blend the Base Ingredients

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

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth

Blend the mixture until it’s completely smooth and creamy, with no chunks of banana or blueberry remaining. This ensures an even texture throughout the frozen treat.

Step 3: Stir in Optional Add-Ins

If you’re using any of the optional add-ins, like pumpkin purée, flaxseed, applesauce, coconut water, or shredded carrots, gently stir them into the blended mixture now. Stirring them in by hand (rather than blending) helps preserve a little texture if you’re using ingredients like shredded carrots.

Step 4: Portion into Cups

Spoon the mixture into small paper cups, silicone molds, or reusable dog-safe treat cups. Silicone molds are especially handy since they make it easy to pop the frozen treats out cleanly.

Step 5: Add a Fun Topping (Optional)

For an extra special touch, place a few whole blueberries on top of each pup cup before freezing. This adds visual appeal and a little burst of flavor in every bite.

Step 6: Freeze Until Firm

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

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Once frozen, you can either pop the treats out of their cups or serve them directly in the cup, just like a classic drive-thru pup cup. Either way, your dog is in for a treat.

Step 8: Store for Later

Cover and store any remaining pup cups in the freezer for up to 2 months, so you’ll always have a refreshing treat ready to go.
