Frozen Dog Treats Recipe (Yogurt & Blueberries)
Cool, creamy frozen treats made with plain yogurt, blueberries, and banana — a 3-ingredient, vet-approved recipe perfect for hot days or post-training rewards. These homemade bites are refreshing, gut-friendly, and full of natural antioxidants your dog will love.
Equipment
- Blender or stick blender
- Silicone molds or ice cube tray
- Spatula
- Freezer-safe bag or container
Food ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt unsweetened
- 1/2 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1/2 small banana optional
- 1 tsp unsalted peanut butter optional swirl
- A few freeze-dried chicken crumbs optional topper
Operation steps
- Blend (2 minutes): Add yogurt, blueberries, and banana to a blender. Blend on medium speed until mostly smooth but still speckled with small blueberry bits for texture.
- Pour (1 minute): Set silicone molds or ice cube trays on a flat baking sheet. Pour the mixture into each cavity, filling about three-quarters full. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
- Add topper (optional): Sprinkle a few freeze-dried chicken crumbs or tiny bits of Cheese & Chicken Training Bites on top for variety.
- Freeze (3–4 hours): Place the tray in the freezer. Freeze until firm and easy to pop out — usually 3–4 hours for small molds or overnight for thicker ones.
- Serve & store: Pop out 1–2 pieces and store the rest in a labeled freezer bag for up to 3 weeks. Let sit 1–2 minutes before serving for a softer edge.
