[Oagdu] Frozen dog treat recipe

[Deanna Lewis]

This is a simple recipe for making frozen dog treats. I am going to have to try these, as Mambo LOVES ice cubes, so I'm sure he would enjoy these! Although, I may have to wait until it warms up outside /smiles/.

Ingredients

*         1 ripe banana

*         32 ounces plain yogurt

*         2 teaspoons peanut butter

*         2 teaspoons honey

Step 1
Place the banana in a blender or food processor. Add 32 ounces plain yogurt. Scoop 2 tsp. of peanut butter and 2 tsp. of honey into the mix.
Step 2
Mix ingredients until well blended.
Step 3
Pour into small freezer safe containers. Round up paper cups, small plastic containers, ice cube trays or muffin tins to use as molds for the mixture. Pour small amounts into the cups, muffin tins or plastic containers. Aim for a hockey puck shape and thickness to resemble the original Frosty Paws size.  Fill an ice cube tray with the concoction to create handy bite-size pieces you can give to your dog when a regular-size frozen treat is too much.

Step 4
Freeze the treats, then put them in a freezer bag for easy storage.


Alternative Options

*         Prepare the basic recipe as above, using 32 ounces of yogurt and banana and omit the honey and peanut butter.

*         Try goat's milk yogurt for a treat containing much less lactose.

*         Add 1/4 cup strawberries, cranberries or blueberries for an antioxidant boost for your pup.

*         Add one can of pumpkin to the basic recipe and add 1/8 tsp. of carob powder.  Mix and pour the mixture in the same manner as the basic recipe, and freeze.

*         Put the mixture in small bathroom size Dixie Cups and put a Milkbone in as if it were a Popsicle
