Clearly I had a lot of time on my hands during spring break.  With the Baby Pickin Game, Kibble Egg Hunt, a trip to the beach, and Easter, Athena was a very busy (and tired) girl last week.  Here I am again with another DIY project all for Athena.


On Monday I checked out the Easter section at Target to scope out any after-holiday clearance deals.  Mostly I was just looking for backup plastic eggs for kibble hunts (which I did find for 50% off), but I also came across a 50% off bunny silicone mold.  It was just the thing that I needed to finally make Athena a batch of frozen dog treats that Id been eyeing on Pinterest.  After looking at a couple of different recipes, I flung some different ingredients together to create these Triple Berry & Banana Frozen Yogurt Treats with Flaxseed.


Heres the recipe:

  • 8-10 oz plain non-fat greek yogurt (I used Fage Total 0%)
  • 1 banana
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen or fresh berries (I used strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries)
  • 1 tsp flaxseed meal (a great source of omega-3s for doggies!)

Instructions:

  • Blend all ingredients together in a blender (I used a Magic Bullet)
  • Pour mixture into a silicone mold, ice cube tray, cupcake liners, paper cups, or anything that youd like!
  • Freeze for at least 2 hours
  • Serve to your four-legged friend!

All ready for the freezer!

Once frozen, I popped the bunnies out the mold and stored them in a freezer bag

As much as Athena loves the store-bought frozen treats like Frosty Paws, they dont love her so much (if you know what I mean).  I love how easy it is to make her these cool berry treat and I love that I know exactly whats in them.


There are a ton of other great frozen treat recipes on Pinterest.  Here are a few that I found that I want to try out next:

Does your dog love frozen treats?  Have you ever made your own at home?
