1. Mash to perfection: In a bowl, mash ripe bananas until completely smooth with no lumps—this ensures creamy frozen texture.
2. Add sweetness: Mix honey into mashed bananas until well combined and smooth throughout.
3. Fold in probiotics: Gently fold in plain yogurt until combined but still maintaining creamy texture—don’t overmix!
4. Fill and freeze: Spoon mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays, filling about 3/4 full to allow for expansion during freezing.
5. Freeze solid: Freeze for at least 3 hours or until completely solid—they should pop out of molds easily when ready.
6. Serve immediately: Remove from freezer and serve right away—these melt faster than regular ice and provide immediate cooling relief!

Notes:

• Always use ripe bananas with brown spots for best flavor and texture
• Amber prefers these served immediately after outdoor activities when he’s warm
• Perfect for hot summer days or post-exercise cooling
• Skip honey for puppies under 12 months old

Storage Tips:

• Once frozen solid, transfer to airtight freezer container
• They’ll keep for 2-3 weeks in the freezer without losing quality
• Don’t leave them out—they melt quickly and can get sticky
• Consider serving outside or on towels to avoid mess
