Coconut Oil Frozen Berry Dots


Description

Antioxidant-packed frozen gems that combine immune-boosting berries with healthy coconut oil – colorful nutrition that keeps your pup cool and healthy

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Freeze Time: 2-3 hours | Total Time: 3 hours 10 minutes | Makes: 20 frozen dots

Fresh strawberries and blackberries covered with shredded coconut on a white plate, perfect for healthy snacks or desserts.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 oz fresh blueberries (plump and bursting with antioxidants)
  • 4 oz fresh strawberries, hulled (bright red and fragrant)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (unrefined virgin coconut oil for best quality)

Instructions

  1. Make sure berries are completely clean and strawberries are hulled—remove all green tops for pure berry goodness.
  2. Add blueberries and strawberries to blender and puree until completely smooth and beautifully colored.
  3. With blender running, slowly add melted coconut oil until mixture is creamy and well combined—no oil separation should remain.
  4. Pour smooth berry mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays, filling each compartment about 3/4 full for expansion room.
  5. Freeze 2-3 hours or until completely solid—they need to be frozen through for perfect crunch.
  6. Pop out frozen dots and serve immediately for maximum cooling effect.
  7. Always supervise your pup while they enjoy these antioxidant-rich cooling treats.

Notes:

  • Use unrefined virgin coconut oil for maximum health benefits and flavor
  • Amber prefers these completely frozen, but they’re great slightly softened too
  • Always supervise dogs with frozen treats to prevent choking

Storage Tips:

  • Store in freezer in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to 3 months
  • Pop out of molds once frozen for easier storage and access
  • Don’t let them sit out too long—they melt quickly and can get messy

What Makes This Recipe Special:

These dots deliver concentrated antioxidants from berries including vitamin C and anthocyanins for immune support, combined with healthy saturated fats from coconut oil for coat health and vitamin absorption. The frozen format provides cooling relief while the berry-coconut combination creates treats that fight inflammation, support brain health, and promote overall wellness.

Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):

  • Antioxidant Power Version: Add blackberries or raspberries for even more immune-boosting compounds
  • Training Size Mini Dots: Use smaller molds for bite-sized training rewards perfect for hot weather
  • Tropical Pink Version: Use only strawberries with coconut oil for a cleaner pink color and simpler flavor
