Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened and xylitol-free)
- 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Purée: In a blender or food processor, blend the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Set the purée aside for swirling.
- Fill the Molds Partially: Spoon a small amount of plain Greek yogurt into silicone paw-shaped molds, filling each cavity about halfway to create the base of the treat.
- Add Blueberry Swirl: Add a small spoonful of the blueberry purée on top of the yogurt in each mold. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the blueberry purée and yogurt together to create a marbled effect.
- Fill the Molds Completely: If needed, fill each mold the rest of the way with more plain Greek yogurt to cover the swirl beautifully.
- Freeze the Treats: Place the filled molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until completely solid.
- Store the Treats: Once frozen, pop the treats out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the freezer to keep fresh until serving.
Notes
- Use silicone molds for easy release and fun shapes.
- Always use plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt with no added sweeteners or xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- These treats are best served frozen for a refreshing snack.
- Check with your vet if your dog has dietary restrictions before introducing new treats.
