Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
- 1 apple, cored and chopped (ensure there are no seeds)
Dairy:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened and unflavored)
Liquid:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water
Optional:
- 2–3 ice cubes for a colder treat
Instructions
- Carefully wash and sanitize all produce, ensuring no dirt or bacteria remain on the surface of the carrot and apple.
- Meticulously peel the carrot and apple, discarding the outer skin and removing all seeds from the apple to prevent potential choking hazards.
- Slice the peeled carrot and apple into small, manageable chunks that will blend smoothly without straining the blender.
- Transfer the chopped produce into a clean blender container, adding Greek yogurt and a measured amount of fresh, cool water.
- Activate the blender and pulse on high speed, creating a uniform, silky mixture that eliminates any visible chunks or rough textures.
- Assess the smoothie’s consistency, gradually introducing additional water if the blend appears too dense or thick for comfortable canine consumption.
- For an enhanced sensory experience, optionally introduce a few ice cubes and re-blend to create a chilled, more viscous treat.
- Select a clean, appropriately sized dog bowl and gently pour the smoothie, ensuring a smooth and inviting presentation.
- Allow your furry companion to savor the nutritious and refreshing beverage, monitoring their enjoyment and potential reactions.
Notes
- Remove apple seeds completely to prevent potential toxicity for dogs.
- Choose organic carrots and apples when possible to reduce pesticide exposure.
- Adjust water quantity for desired smoothie consistency based on your dog’s preference.
- Freeze leftover smoothie in ice cube trays for convenient future treats or hot day cooling snacks.
