Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (washed and hulled)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened and unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries, removing the green tops to ensure only the fresh, edible parts are used.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey if desired, and water.
- Blend the Mixture: Blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add a little more water, a splash at a time.
- Fill Molds: Pour the blended mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays, filling each cavity to the top for evenly sized treats.
- Remove Air Bubbles: Gently tap the molds on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and allow to freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until completely solid.
- Serve: Once frozen, pop the treats out of the molds and offer them to your dog as a chilly, healthy snack.
Notes
- The honey is optional; omit it if your dog is sensitive to sugar or if you want a purely natural treat.
- Use plain Greek yogurt without any added sweeteners or flavors to avoid harmful ingredients for dogs.
- These treats should be given in moderation as a supplement to your dog’s regular diet.
- Store leftover treats in an airtight container or freezer bag to maintain freshness.
- Always supervise your dog when giving frozen treats to ensure safe consumption.
