Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no xylitol)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- A splash of water or unsweetened almond milk (if needed for blending)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel and slice the bananas into manageable pieces for blending, which ensures smooth consistency.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the banana slices, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey (if using) into a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture turns smooth and creamy. Add a splash of water or unsweetened almond milk if the mixture is too thick to blend properly.
- Fill Molds: Spoon the blended mixture into silicone molds, ice cube trays, or small paper cups, ensuring portions are evenly distributed.
- Freeze: Place the filled molds into the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours or until the ice cream is completely solid.
- Serve: Remove the frozen ice cream from the molds and serve one portion at a time to your dog as a delightful treat.
- Storage: Store any remaining ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.
Notes
- Always use peanut butter that does not contain xylitol, as it is toxic to dogs.
- For extra flavor and texture, consider mixing in shredded carrots, blueberries, or small apple chunks before freezing.
