Makes

18 Dog Treats

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas

  • 1 cup plain unsweetened yogurt (xylitol-free)

  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (unsalted and xylitol-free)

  • 2–3 tablespoons water or unsweetened coconut milk (optional, for smoother texture)

How To Make

  1. Peel and slice bananas. Add them to a blender or food processor.

  2. Add yogurt and peanut butter. These create a creamy, dog-safe base.

How To Store

Store the frozen treats in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer. They will stay fresh for up to 2 months. If stacking, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

When ready to serve, remove a treat from the freezer and let it sit for 1–2 minutes so it softens slightly.

Serving Sizes

Treats should always be given in moderation.

  • Small dogs (under 20 lbs): 1 small bone treat

  • Medium dogs (20–50 lbs): 1–2 treats

  • Large dogs (50+ lbs): 2–3 treats

Always adjust based on your dog’s diet and activity level.
