Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
- ½ cup (120 ml) plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, no artificial sweeteners)
Sweetener:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey (optional, skip if serving to dogs with dietary restrictions)
Instructions
- Gather fresh, ripe strawberries and creamy Greek yogurt to create a delightful frozen treat for your furry companion.
- Transform the ingredients into a silky smooth puree by pulsing them in a blender until no fruit chunks remain.
- Select small silicone molds or an ice cube tray that will create perfectly portioned doggy delights.
- Carefully transfer the vibrant pink mixture into each mold, ensuring an even distribution without any air pockets.
- Gently tap the molds on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles and create a uniform texture.
- Place the filled molds into the freezer, positioning them flat to prevent spillage and maintain shape.
- Allow the treats to solidify completely, which typically takes between 3-4 hours depending on your freezer’s temperature.
- Once fully frozen, remove the treats from the molds by gently pressing or twisting to release each individual portion.
- Serve immediately to your eager pup as a refreshing and nutritious cold snack, perfect for warm days or as a special reward.
- Store any remaining treats in a sealed container in the freezer for up to two weeks to maintain freshness and quality.
Notes
- Choose ripe, organic strawberries for maximum flavor and nutritional benefits for your dog.
- Opt for plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt to avoid added sugars or artificial sweeteners that could harm pets.
- Adjust honey quantity based on your dog’s size and dietary needs, using a minimal amount as a natural sweetener.
- Consider alternative molding options like small silicone trays or even clean ice cube containers for easy portioning and freezing.
