Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

1 ripe banana
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup plain unsweetened yogurt (Greek yogurt optional)
1/2 cup bone broth

Dry Ingredients

2 tablespoons ground flax meal

Instructions

Mash the Banana: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly using a fork or an electric mixer until smooth and free of lumps.
Combine with Yogurt: Add the plain yogurt to the mashed banana and mix well until fully incorporated, creating a creamy base.
Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the natural peanut butter, bone broth, and ground flax meal carefully. Pour the bone broth slowly to avoid splashing and ensure even mixing.
Pour into Molds: Using a small measuring cup or spoon, pour the mixture evenly into silicone molds or ice cube trays designed for dog treats.
Freeze: Place the filled molds flat in the freezer and let freeze for 2 to 4 hours. For larger molds, freezing time may be slightly longer to ensure solidification.
Store the Treats: Once frozen solid, pop the treats out of the molds and transfer them to an airtight container to keep them fresh in the freezer until ready to serve.

Notes

Use natural peanut butter with no added sugar, salt, or xylitol, as these can be harmful to dogs.
Plain, unsweetened yogurt is essential; avoid flavored or sweetened varieties that may upset your dog’s stomach.
Bone broth should be free from onions and garlic, which are toxic to dogs.
Always monitor your dog when feeding new treats to check for allergies or intolerance.
These treats are best served frozen, especially during warm weather, for a refreshing snack.
Consult your veterinarian before introducing new ingredients to your dog’s diet.
