Frozen Yogurt Popsicles for Dogs
With one more day of summer upon us, we are celebrating with some Frozen Yogurt Popsicles for Dogs! And when I say “we”, well, I mean my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel bozos.
These Frozen Yogurt Popsicles for Dogs aka Pupsicles were featured with a couple of other dog friendly treats in my “Gone to the Dogs” monthly inRegister column, Aimee’s Pretty Palate.
(hop over to the inRegister link for a video of my pups enjoying their pops)
These Frozen Yogurt Pupsicles have been just the ticket for cooling down a dog who insists on being outside with you … while wearing a fur coat.
Frozen Yogurt Popsicles for Dogs
Keep your pups cool with some homemade "popsicles".
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain yogurt (non-fat if needed)
- 2 Tbsp. smooth peanut butter
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- Bone-shaped cookies for handles (optional)
Instructions
Place all ingredients except cookies into a blender and mix until completely smooth. Divide mixture into individual nut cups or a popsicle tray. Note: Small nut cups can be found locally at Party Time; they look similar to mini cupcake holders but are a bit sturdier.
If you are using bone handles, add to center of nut cups before freezing. Freeze until firm. Pop out of tray (you’ll need a knife) or tear away nut cup liner, and serve your pup by using the bone as your popsicle stick. Use within 1 week.
Makes 8-10 mini pops.
The inserted bone-shaped dog treat serves as a handle for you to politely serve your canine companion as they lick away the frozen goodness.
I prefer using the nuts cups found at the party store (Party Time for anyone local reading) because they’re a bit sturdier than mini cupcake liners, but those will work just as well. And if you don’t have any of those on hand, simply freeze in an ice cube tray!
Bone appetit!
