1. Make sure your ice pop molds are clean and ready—you’ll want to work quickly once blended.
2. Add frozen peas, chopped carrots, and low-sodium broth to your blender.
3. Blend until smooth but still chunky—you want some texture for interest, not complete puree.
4. Add water gradually until mixture pours easily but isn’t too thin (should coat a spoon lightly).
5. Pour mixture into ice pop molds, leaving small space at top for expansion.
6. Tap molds gently on counter to release air bubbles, then insert sticks firmly.
7. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for completely solid pops.
8. Run molds under warm water for 30 seconds to release pops easily before serving.

Notes:

• Always supervise your dog with frozen treats and remove when too small to prevent choking
• Amber loves these completely frozen, but some dogs prefer them slightly thawed initially
• Make sure broth is truly low-sodium and free of onion/garlic which are toxic to dogs

Storage Tips:

• Store finished pops in freezer bags for up to three months
• Label with date made—they’re best within the first month
• Keep molds in freezer between batches for quicker setting
• If pops get freezer burn, just scrape off the affected area before serving

What Makes This Recipe Special: These ice pops combine natural hydration with essential vitamins from peas and carrots, providing cooling relief while supporting digestive health and immune function. The low-sodium broth adds irresistible flavor without dangerous salt levels that can harm dogs.
