Instructions
Making Super Easy Summer Dog Treats is a quick, no-cook process. Follow these steps for the best results.
In a blender or food processor, combine the banana, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter until completely smooth.
Fold in the blueberries, strawberries, shredded carrots, and parsley, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Spoon the mixture into silicone paw-print molds, ice cube trays, or small paper cups.
Gently tap the molds on the counter to remove any air bubbles and help the treats freeze evenly.
Freeze for at least 4 to 6 hours, or until completely solid.
Pop the frozen treats out of the molds and store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Serve one treat at a time as a refreshing snack on warm days. Always supervise your dog while enjoying frozen treats, and adjust serving size based on your dog’s size.
