Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup plain yogurt (unsweetened and no added sugar)
Instructions
- Pulverize fresh strawberries, ripe banana, and creamy plain yogurt in a blender until achieving a silky, homogeneous puree with no visible fruit chunks.
- Select a baking sheet and create a non-stick surface by carefully lining it with either a silicone mat or parchment paper to prevent potential sticking.
- Transfer the fruit-yogurt mixture into a piping bag or use a small spoon to create uniform, bite-sized droplets across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring consistent sizing for even freezing.
- Position the baking sheet in the freezer’s coldest section, allowing the yogurt drops to solidify completely for approximately two hours, checking periodically for a firm, icy texture.
- Once fully frozen, delicately remove the yogurt drops from the baking sheet and relocate them into a freezer-safe, sealable container or heavy-duty freezer bag to maintain freshness.
- Store the treats in the freezer and offer them to your canine companion as a refreshing, nutritious snack during warm days or as a special reward.
Notes
- Customize the blend by swapping strawberries with dog-safe fruits like blueberries or raspberries for variety.
- Ensure the yogurt is plain and free from artificial sweeteners, especially xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Use a piping bag for more precise, uniform drops that are easier for smaller dogs to enjoy.
- Consider the portion size based on your dog’s weight and dietary needs to prevent overfeeding.
