Need an easy treat to beat the summer heat?
Try these frozenย puppy bites!
They’re only three ingredients of pure deliciousness. Well, I’m guessing based on the pups reactions. I haven’t actually tried them myself. Although I could!
- 1 cup Plain, Nonfat Yogurt
- 1 Banana
- 1 Tbs Peanut Butter
This recipe is extremely flexible, so play around with the ingredients a bit! Sometimes, I like to add a little bit of honey for something extra special. You can use other fruits, vary the amount of peanut butter, or add anything else your pup would love. I like using plain, nonfat yogurt as a base because it is full of healthy probiotics, which helps with tummy problems. A few dogs are sensitive to dairy, so be sure you are aware of any sensitivities before giving too many treats.
First, mash your banana in a large bowl. I used a potato masher, but a fork works just as well.
Second, add your yogurt.
Lastly, stir in your peanut butter.
I like to put my mixture into molds for a quick snack. Sometimes, I put the mixture in bowls so the dogs can enjoy a bigger treat.
Freeze and serve!
Easy peasy, right?!
*Atka tested, mom approved!
We’re joing the Tasty Tuesday blog hop hosted by Kol’s Notes and Sugar the Golden Retriever. Hop on in and check out what everyone’s snacking on this week!
I’m not sure how I would keep the humans away from something that had bananas, yogurt, and peanut butter.
I think they’re best for sharing ๐
NICE!! Just this past weekend I used one of Jodi’s recipes and dipped the banana slices in almond butter and froze them. The dogs loved them!! (I added some chocolate bits to the slices set aside for the humans and they were yummy!!) I’ll have to try this!
Excuse me while I go make those and eat them all myself ๐
Easy and yummy looking…if I put honey in it, I’ll eat them too!
I prefer them with honey as well ๐
Well, yours turned out a whole lot nicer looking then mine!!! hahaha!!! Ah well ๐
Thanks for sharing!

Molds and cookie cutters are my best friends ๐
OM NOM NOM. I might have to try this for the peoples in the house. ๐
I would! You should try Jodi’s recommendation above as well ๐
I LOVE making these for the boys, though I use blueberries instead of bananas. (I have a weird aversion to bananas…) They get so excited when I open the freezer door!
I’ll have to try making them with blueberries. I just always seem to have bananas and never and blueberries.
Great recipe! We make these for Rudy and Rosie (Jeffie hates banana.)
Does Jeffie like another fruit? You could always substitute with strawberries, blueberries, or whatever sounds tasty!
That looks awesome! ๐ I would totally make these for myself too as a breakfast smoothie.
That is exactly where my idea came from!
those are my favourite! mummy fills up my kong with frozen yogurt and bananas:-)
Mmm… That does sound yummy! I really need to try making a frozen Kong for my two. Normally, they just get peanut butter.
Yes!!! The easiest frosty treat ๐ It’s Sugar’s favorite because of the bananas. Happy Tasty Tuesday. Golden Woofs
We love anything easy. Mauja and Atka will share with Sugar ๐
Yum!! Where did you find these paw print molds? I have been looking for some!
(PS: I have a frozen treats post lined up for next Tuesday as well; I just didn’t want you to think I ripped off your idea! :/ We used two different recipes and Kong treat molds!)
This is the one that I purchased…

Summer is the time of year for frozen treats! I can’t wait to see your recipes and give them a try ๐
They look great! Though Hooman would be nicking some for herself….
It’d be worth it!
I really need to try these. I’ve bought frozen treats for Honey and they’re far more expensive.
For me, the problem would be keeping my husband from eating them too. ๐
We used to buy frozen treats all the time and then I realized I could make a healthier version for a fraction of the cost. I think the dogs like them more, too! I’m sure my husband would eat them too if he ever looked in the freezer ๐
Quick and delish treat, I need to get me some paw print molds, where did you get those?
This is the one I was able to find ๐ http://www.amazon.com/K9-Cakery-Silicone-5-5-Inch-15-Cavity/dp/B006SOAPKC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404960281&sr=8-1&keywords=paw+print+mold
Oh nice! Looks delish, healthy, & super easy to make! Perfect combo! Momma’s going to make a variation with blueberries…I’ll let you know how they turn out ๐ Thanks for sharing! xo, Destiny
Definitely let me know! I think I’m going to try strawberries this weekend ๐
