dog recipes – Lola the Pitty

Lola’s birthday was this week so I wanted to make her something special, but didn’t really feel like turning on the oven. I’ll admit, I’ve been kind of lazy lately about baking.

So I posted this photo…

and realized I hadn’t shared the recipe yet. Shame on me.

These are pretty much the easiest treat to make for your dog, ever. Dump everything in a blender, pour into trays and freeze.

I’ve made a couple versions of this treat (more coming later) and now whenever the dogs hear the blender…they assume it’s for them. 99% of the time, they are correct.

Recipe type: dog treat recipe

Serves: 5

Ingredients

⅓ cup peanut butter
½ cup plain yogurt (I used greek 2%)
1 ripe banana
splash (unsweetened) almond milk (or water!)
Mini & regular muffin tins

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a blender; blend until smooth.
Add a splash of water or almond milk until everything blends well, adding more as necessary.
Pour mixture into muffin tins and freeze until solid.
Remove from the freezer when ready to serve and allow to sit for a few minutes to slightly thaw, then pop out with a knife, stack and serve!

Notes

*Silicon muffin cups work great for these treats!

I topped mine with those itty bitty Sojo’s dog treats and they added the perfect little touch.

Your pups will LOVE these!

Puppy Power Smoothies

Mint Buckwheat Dog Biscuits

shared on:

Lola and Rio seriously went nuts over these smoothies I made for them. I love making treats like these for them because they are truly good for them and packed with vitamins, antioxidants, healthy fats and protein! And they love them…win. Wish I could say the same for myself.

I tried to snap a photo of them afterwards because they both had smoothie splattered all over their noses after slurping up their snack. Unfortunately both of their tongues were faster than I was.

Four simple ingredients make up these Puppy Power Smoothies:

Carrots – excellent source of vitamin A, antioxidants, fiber, vitamin K, potassium, folate, manganese, phosphorous, magnesium, vitamin E and zinc… and if that wasn’t enough, didn’t your mom always tell you to eat your carrots?

Parsley – stinky breath fixer-upper. Plus vitamin C, B12, K and A.

Greek yogurt – excellent source of protein!

Almond Milk – protein, low cal, plus a good source of omega fatty acids.

You can also freeze these and let your dog lick the cup clean for prolonged entertainment.

This recipe only yields four small servings, but you could easily double it or triple it and keep a supply in the freezer.

You will begin to notice a trend with all of the dog recipes I make on this blog. I will never use vegetable or canola oil in my recipes, if I use flour it will be either whole wheat or a gluten free flour (such as rice, corn, or coconut), I will never add any unnecessary sugar and they will all offer nutritional benefits for your pup.

You could say I’m a teensy bit picky about what our dogs eat.

I’ll be honest, our dogs eat much cleaner than I do. As I’m sure many of us can relate to.

I hope your pups enjoy these as much as Lola and Rio!
