1. Break your ripe banana into chunks and toss in the blender with rolled oats—this prevents oat clumps.
2. Add yogurt, water, and honey to the mix (start with less water; you can always add more).
3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 60-90 seconds (mix until your dog starts drooling from the sound).
4. Check consistency—it should be thick enough to stay in a bowl but smooth enough to lap up easily.
5. Pour into your pup’s favorite bowl and serve immediately while cold. Watch the tail-wagging magic happen!

Notes:

• Always use ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and smooth blending
• Serve immediately for best flavor and texture
• Amber loves this best when it’s ice-cold from the refrigerator

Storage Tips:

• Best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days
• Stir well before serving as natural separation occurs
• Consider freezing in ice cube trays for portion-controlled frozen treats
