Prep Time: 10 minutes | Freezing Time: 2-3 hours | Total Time: 3+ hours | Makes: 30-40 drops
Delicious homemade blueberry ice cream topped with fresh blueberries in a small white bowl, ideal for cooling down and enjoying healthy, fruit-based frozen treats.
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt (probiotics for digestive health)
- 1 ripe banana, mashed (natural sweetness and creaminess)
- 1/4 cup blueberries, mashed (antioxidant powerhouse)
- 1 tablespoon honey (completely safe for adult dogs)
Instructions
- Mix together yogurt, mashed banana, mashed blueberries, and honey until well combined – the swirled colors will look absolutely gorgeous.
- Spoon small drops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet – size appropriately for your dog’s mouth and chewing ability.
- Freeze for 2-3 hours until completely solid – this is the hardest part because your pup will keep checking hopefully.
- Transfer frozen drops to an airtight container for storage – prevents freezer burn and maintains perfect texture.
Notes:
- Always supervise your dog eating frozen treats to prevent choking
- Let drops soften slightly if your dog prefers less intense cold
- These are substantial treats due to natural fruit sugars, so serve in moderation
Storage Tips:
- Keep frozen for up to 2 months in airtight containers
- Make weekly batches for consistent availability during hot weather
- Don’t refreeze once thawed – serve immediately for best texture
What Makes This Recipe Special:
