Instructions

Step 1: Inspect & Prepare Base Ingredients

Carefully review the peanut butter ingredient label to guarantee absolute absence of xylitol or birch sugar. Peel the ripe banana and mash thoroughly in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Using extra ripe bananas with brown spots adds natural sweetness without refined sugar.

Step 2: Combine & Blend Creamy Base

Add 1 cup of xylitol-free peanut butter, 2 cups of plain Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of honey into the bowl with the mashed banana. Use a hand mixer or high-speed blender to pulse for 60 seconds until completely silky and smooth.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** If the mixture is too thick, add 2 tablespoons of warm water or unsalted bone broth to loosen texture.

Step 3: Portion Into Silicone Molds or Cups

Spoon the blended mixture into dog-safe silicone paw molds, ice cube trays, or small paper freezer cups. Tap the tray lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Stick a mini dog biscuit into the center of each cup as an edible stick placeholder.

Step 4: Freeze Until Firm

Place the filled silicone molds flat into the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until fully solid to the touch.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Store the frozen treats in a zip-top freezer bag once solidified to retain freshness.

Step 5: Serve Safely to Your Pup

Pop an ice cream treat out of the mold and let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes to soften slightly before offering it to your dog.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Hold the treat or place it inside a slow feeder bowl to prevent fast swallowers from gulping.
