A Cool Homemade Recipe Your Pup Will Adore


Why I Started Making Frozen Yogurt Banana Dog Treats

It all started on a scorching July afternoon when my lab mix, Sandra, refused to play fetch for more than five minutes. She looked at me with those tired, tongue-hanging eyes like she was saying, “Mom, I need something cold. Now.”

I peeked in the fridge and saw Greek yogurt. Then I spotted a ripe banana on the counter. That’s when the idea hit me: why not whip up a frozen treat just for her? Something nourishing, hydrating, and tail-waggingly good—just like the frozen yogurt-based dog treats I’d seen using ice cube trays and plain yogurt .

And oh my gosh… Sandra LOVED them. She now runs to the freezer the second she hears me peel a banana. 🐶🍌


Ingredients You’ll Need

You only need 3 wholesome ingredients —easy to find, dog-safe, and budget-friendly:

  • 1 ripe banana (adds natural sweetness + potassium)

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (xylitol-free & probiotic-rich)

  • Optional: 1 tablespoon peanut butter (natural, creamy & unsweetened – always xylitol-free!)

🛑 Reminder: Always double-check the label—no xylitol or added sugar in the peanut butter or yogurt!



Step-by-Step Instructions

This recipe is no-bake and takes just 5 minutes to prep.

🥄 Mash the banana in a small bowl until smooth.
🥣 Mix in the yogurt and optional peanut butter until smooth.
🍨 Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays.
❄️ Freeze for 2–3 hours or until solid.
🐕 Pop out one at a time and serve to your pup!

Greek yogurt contains live and active cultures of beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which are probiotics. These probiotics help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria in dogs, promoting better digestion and a stronger immune system. #dogtreats #dogrecipes #dogfood #americanbully #dogowner #dogmom #dogmemes #doglover #dogsofinstagram #petlover #spoileddog #cutedog #dogoftheday #americanbullydog ♬ Sunsets (feat.

🧊 Blend with ice for an extra fluffy frozen texture


Bonding with My Dog During Prep

Sandra sits beside me every time I make these, eyes locked on the spoon. Her tail gently taps the floor, like she knows this treat is just for her.

She even gets to lick the spoon when I’m done. It’s our little ritual. And those moments of connection? They’re what dog motherhood is all about. 💛

Storing and Serving Tips

❄️ Store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month


🐾 Serve 1–2 small treats per day, especially after walks or playtime


🚫 Avoid overfeeding—these are snacks, not meals






Common Issues & Fixes

  • Too hard? Let it thaw 1–2 minutes before serving

  • Won’t come out of mold? Run the bottom under warm water

  • Dog won’t eat it? Try adding a drizzle of bone broth on top

📌 Final Thoughts

These frozen yogurt banana dog treats aren’t just food—they’re a gesture of love.

Making something by hand just for Sandra reminds me that the small, thoughtful moments are what truly bond us. It’s not just about the treat—it’s about who you’re sharing it with.

So go ahead, try this recipe. Snap a pic. Savor the wagging tail. Because those frozen kisses and happy zoomies? They’re worth every blend, mash, and freeze.
