Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (washed and hulled)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened and unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries, removing all green tops to ensure only the clean berry is used for the treat mixture.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the hulled strawberries, plain Greek yogurt, honey if desired for extra sweetness, and water to help blend.
- Blend Until Smooth: Process the ingredients until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If the consistency feels too thick, add a small splash of water and blend again.
- Fill Molds: Pour the creamy strawberry mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays, filling each compartment completely to get uniform treats.
- Remove Air Bubbles: Gently tap the molds on the countertop to help remove any trapped air bubbles ensuring even freezing and a better texture.
- Freeze Treats: Place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze solid for at least 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.
- Serve Your Dog: Once frozen, pop the treats out of the molds and serve to your dog for a cool, healthy snack.
Notes
- Always consult your vet before introducing new foods to your pet’s diet especially if your dog has allergies.
- Honey is optional and should be used sparingly or omitted for puppies or dogs with health issues.
- Use silicone molds or ice cube trays to make portion control easy and freezer storage convenient.
- These treats are best served frozen and should be given fresh from the freezer to maintain the cool texture.
- Store leftover treats in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- Do not feed your dog an excessive amount of yogurt-based treats as moderation is key.
