Ingredients:
(1) tub organic yogurt, for this I use Vanilla, low fat.
(1) big dallop of peanut butter
(1) whole banana
(2) tablespoons honey (preferrably local variety)
(1) cup fresh pineapple chunks, drained.
Add all above ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Spread out some 4 oz. dixie cups on a cookie sheet and pour the
blended mixture evenly into the cups. I typically use 15 or 16 cups
per batch. I don't fill them all the way up as it is much easier (less
messy) to remove the cups if they aren't filled all the way.
then transfer the cookie sheet into the freezer.
I should warn those with freezers away from their kitchens, that it
can be a bit of a challenge to get the tray of cups to the freezer
without spilling them. Our big upright freezer is out in our garage,
which is where I keep food and Frosty Paws treats. It can be quite
difficult to transport the tray of filled cups to the freezer when
your dogs are running figure eights between your legs as you carry the
tray to the freezer. I think they know that if they can make you drop
one it's theirs.
You've been warned.
Once the treats are fully frozen (couple hours max), you can remove
them from the cookie sheet and place all the cups into a gallon sized
zip lock freezer bag for more convenient storage.
To serve, simply remove a treat from the freezer and rip/peel off the
dixie cup. (Make sure you don't leave the bottom of the cup on by
accident.)
Feel free to add whatever ingredients you have or that your dog would
enjoy, these treats are very easy to make. Plus its an easy way to
give them their daily serving of yogurt/honey/pineapple, etc.... You
could even add salmon oil, vitamin e, medicines, etc.... if you wanted.
