When it comes to treating our furry friends, keeping it healthy and balanced is key. That’s why I love making DIY frozen dog treats at home! These Frozen Pup Delights are packed with simple, natural ingredients—just peanut butter, banana, and yogurt—so you know exactly what your pup is enjoying. No mystery ingredients, no harmful additives—just a cool, creamy snack your pup will love any time of year. Plus, they’re made in ice cube trays or small molds, so they’re big enough to be a treat but small enough for mindful snacking. Ready to make your dog’s new favorite frozen snack? Let’s get started!
Wholesome Ingredients for Happy Pups
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup water
Ingredient Tips:
When choosing your yogurt and peanut butter, be sure they are free from sweeteners, salts, and harmful additives—especially xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. Some recipes suggest adding honey or coconut oil, but I prefer to keep it simple with just a small amount of water—clean, pure, and pup-approved!
Easy Blend: Preparing Your Frozen Dog Treat Batter
Start by slicing the bananas to help them blend smoothly. Then, add all the ingredients—yogurt, peanut butter, banana, and water—into your food processor or blender. Run the blender until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color. This process is quick and easy, and you’ll have your frozen dog treat batter ready in no time.
Freeze & Set: Prepping Treats for the Freezer
Now your batter is ready, simply spoon it into ice cube trays or silicone molds. The batter is smooth and fluid, making it easy to work with and ensuring an even fill. Place the filled trays in the freezer and let the treats set up. While 2 hours is typically recommended, I find that leaving them to freeze overnight gives the best, most solid results.
Pop & Serve: Storing Your DIY Frozen Dog Treats
Once your treats are fully frozen, they’ll pop right out of the molds with ease, ready to make your pup’s day! I like to store them in freezer bags for easy access and to save storage space in my freezer. These treats are great to have on hand whenever your dog deserves a cool, healthy snack. If you give them a try, let me know in the comments how your dog likes them—I’d love to hear your feedback!
