Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, preferably non-fat)
  • 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup oat flour or whole wheat flour (optional, for thickening)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Mixture: In a small bowl, mash the blueberries with a fork, or pulse briefly in a blender to create a chunky puree. If desired, add a little honey for sweetness and mix well.
  2. Mix the Yogurt Base: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract and water. If using flour for thickening, stir it in until fully incorporated to form a manageable batter consistency.
  3. Create the Swirl: Gently fold the mashed blueberries into the yogurt mixture to create a swirl effect without fully blending the colors.
  4. Fill the Treat Molds: Spoon the mixture into silicone paw-shaped molds or ice cube trays, smoothing the tops with a spoon.
  5. Freeze the Treats: Place the filled molds in the freezer and let the treats set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  6. Serve and Store: Pop the treats out of the molds and serve to your dog as a cool, refreshing snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.

Notes

  • Use plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt to avoid added sugars and harmful ingredients for dogs.
  • Honey is optional and should be used sparingly since dogs do not need added sugars.
  • Make sure any blueberries used are fresh or properly thawed from frozen.
  • Always consult your vet before introducing new foods to your dog’s diet.
  • Use oat flour as a gluten-free alternative to whole wheat flour if your dog has sensitivities.
  • Keep treats in the freezer to maintain freshness and provide a cooling snack.
