- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (unsweetened and unflavored)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, can be omitted to keep it sugar-free)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the banana into small pieces and chop the strawberries into small chunks. If using frozen strawberries, make sure they are thawed before proceeding.
- Blend the Mixture: Place the banana, strawberries, and plain yogurt into a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. If desired, add a tablespoon of honey for extra natural sweetness, ensuring it is safe for your dog.
- Fill the Molds: Pour the blended mixture into ice cube trays, silicone molds, silicone cupcake liners, or a mini muffin tin for bite-sized portions.
