Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (unsweetened and xylitol-free)
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe bananas, plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened and xylitol-free peanut butter, and water. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring even consistency for freezing.
- Fill the Molds: Carefully pour the blended mixture into ice cube trays or silicone molds. Using fun-shaped molds like bones or paw prints can make the treat more visually appealing for your dog.
- Freeze: Place the filled molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze for at least 2 hours or until they are completely solid. This ensures a firm texture ideal for serving.
- Serve: Once fully frozen, remove the ice cream cubes from the molds and serve them as a refreshing and healthy treat for your dog to enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure the peanut butter used is unsweetened and free of xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better blending.
- If your dog is lactose intolerant, consult your vet before using Greek yogurt or consider lactose-free alternatives.
- Store leftover dog ice cream in the freezer to maintain freshness and texture.
- Serve in moderation as a treat, not as a meal replacement.
