Looking for a fun way to cool your pup down on a hot day? These peanut butter and berry pupsicles are the perfect summer treat, and they’re super easy to make!
Ingredients
- ½ cup berries (blueberries, strawberries or blackberries)
- 2 frozen bananas, sliced
- ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter*
- ½ cup Chobani dog yoghurt
- Dog bone-shaped treats
* When selecting peanut butter, ensure it’s free from xylitol, an artificial sweetener that’s toxic to pets. Opt for natural, unsalted peanut butter made from 100% peanuts.
Instructions
- Puree the berries in a food processor until smooth, then set aside and rinse the bowl.
- Add the peanut butter, frozen bananas and Chobani dog yoghurt to the processor. Blend until you get a soft-serve ice cream texture, adding water as needed.
- Layer the berry and peanut butter mixtures in icy pole moulds, swirling them together is you like.
- Insert bone-shaped treats as icy pole sticks, then freeze for at least 4 hours until solid.
- Store any leftover pupsicles in the freezer, covered, for up to a month.
Keep in mind that treats should be given in moderation, taking into account any dietary allergies your pet may have. It’s always a good idea to check with your vet before adding new foods to your dog’s diet, particularly if they have existing health conditions. Be sure to monitor your pet while they eat this treat to ensure they eat it safely.
