1. Prep your kale by washing thoroughly and removing thick stems. Roughly chop into smaller pieces for easier blending.
2. Blend kale and water in a food processor until completely smooth—about 2 minutes. You want it looking like a bright green smoothie, not chunky bits.
3. Mix the kale puree with Greek yogurt in a bowl until well combined and you get an even, pale green color. Take your time here; proper mixing prevents separation.
4. Pour mixture into ice cube trays and freeze until solid, about 2-3 hours. Make sure your freezer has good airflow around the trays.
5. Let sit at room temperature for 1 minute before serving to prevent tongue-sticking. Always supervise your dog with frozen treats.

Notes:

• Always let cool completely before serving to prevent any mouth discomfort
• Amber prefers these slightly softened, so experiment with your dog’s preference
• Start with smaller portions for dogs new to frozen treats

Storage Tips:

• Keep frozen in airtight containers for up to 2 months
• Transfer to freezer bags after completely frozen for easier storage
• Don’t leave these out—they’ll melt and spoil
• Toss if you see any freezer burn or ice crystals

What Makes This Recipe Special: These frozen cubes combine the digestive benefits of probiotic-rich Greek yogurt with vitamin-packed kale in a form that dogs actually crave.
