🥜Peanut Butter Banana Dog Pupsicle Recipes

Ingredients

-32 oz low-fat plain yogurt (can use Greek yogurt if you prefer)

-2 bananas, mashed

-½ cup peanut butter (we like to use natural, but any kind will work as long as there is no xylitol in it)

-2 tbsp honey

-1 oz blueberries, chopped 

-healthybud’s banana crisps (optional)

🐕Instructions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together your mashed bananas, peanut butter, and honey.
2. Add in the yogurt and mix until well blended. 
3. You can use silicone molds, or an ice cube tray, or small freezer-safe or paper cups for this part. Put your chopped blueberries in the bottom of your molds. 
4. Spoon in your yogurt mixture on top of the blueberries and put in the freezer for about an hour so that they are partially frozen. 
5. Add a banana crisp into the centre of your pupsicle to act as a stick, and place back in the freezer for 2 hours until completely frozen. 
6. Let your pup enjoy this tasty treat!

-healthybud’s beef lung treats (optional)

Use the same steps as above, mixing together the broth and yogurt. You can crumble some beef lung treats into the bottom of your molds in place of the blueberries.
