Servings: 30 treats, depending on mold size
Calories: 35kcal
Cost: $4
Equipment
- Stand Mixer or large bowl with a fork
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, natural Avoid peanut butter with added sugars and artificial sweeteners, as these are not good for dogs.
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt Use plain, unsweetened yogurt. Greek yogurt is fine as well, but avoid sweeteners and added flavors.
- 1/2 cup bone broth I use chicken bone broth - you can use chicken stock or beef stock.
- 2 tbsp ground flax meal I buy this from Trader Joe's but you can get it on Amazon as well.
Instructions
- Mash banana in a bowl with a fork or with a mixer.
- Combine with yogurt and mix well.
- Add in the rest of your ingredients - peanut butter, bone broth, and flax meal. Be careful adding your bone broth because it can splash everywhere.
- Using a small measuring cup, pour into your molds.
- Freeze for 2 - 4 hours, laying flat in the freezer. Once frozen, pop out of molds and store in the freezer in an air-tight container. (If you use large molds, freezing time might increase.)
Notes
Feel free to customize this recipe - banana can be replaced with 1/2 cup of pumpkin. I have also mixed in chopped up green beans because Melly LOVES frozen green beans!
