Instructions

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

Step 1: Blend the Base Ingredients

Add the Greek yogurt, blueberries, coconut milk, coconut water, 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 blueberry remaining.

Step 3: Stir in Optional Add-Ins

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

Step 4: 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 5: 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 6: 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 7: 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 8: Serve as a Cool, Refreshing Snack

Serve one or two frozen treats as a cool, refreshing snack on warm days, after playtime, or any time your pup needs a little extra hydration and love.
