Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat banana with peanut butter, pumpkin, and yogurt until creamy and combined.
- Using a 1 Tablespoon cookie scoop, spoon mixture into ice cube trays. (about 2/3 full).
- Place a dog treat in each slot, then tap the tray on the counter so the filling surrounds the treats. You may need to "re-stand" the treats vertically.
- Freeze treats for about 2 hours.
Notes
- Ice Cube Trays- we love using these silicone ice cube trays. They come in a 4-pack (which is perfect for today's recipe). The treats pop right out, one at a time.
- Peanut Butter- be sure to choose a sugar free peanut butter, especially one that has no artificial sweeteners.
- Yogurt- Dogs can get GI issues if they take in too much dairy/lactose. Using Greek yogurt helps reduce these issues, but you could also use lactose free yogurt if you prefer. Be sure to choose plain (unflavored) and NO SUGAR, as the artificial sweeteners can be harmful to your pups.
- Pumpkin- canned or fresh pumpkin is perfect. Don't use pumpkin pie filling (just the 100% pumpkin).
- Please note: do not give traditional vanilla ice cream to dogs. Sugar and lactose can cause problems, including diarrhea, vomiting, and gas. Our recipe uses Greek yogurt or lactose free yogurt to reduce these issues. All natural treat for pups!
- We recommend only giving your pups one treat per day, or several times a week, unless they are on a special diet. Just like humans, eat in moderation! Ask your veterinarian if you are concerned.
- Storage: These treats will last about 3 months in the freezer. You can keep the dog treat out of them if you prefer, and pop the ice cube tray lid on to keep them fresh longer. The milkbone treat is just a fun way to serve.
- Milkbones- depending on the size of your dog/ice cube tray will determine what size treat you'll want to use. We prefer the small or medium treats!
- Thanks to Smart School House for this fun doggy treat idea!
