Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup mashed banana
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (xylitol-free)
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1 medium carrot, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Mix the Greek yogurt and chicken broth in a large bowl until smooth. Ensure the broth is completely room temperature to prevent curdling.
  2. Fold in the mashed banana and melted coconut oil. The mixture should have a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
  3. Gently stir in the diced carrots and blueberries to provide antioxidants and varied textures.
  4. Drizzle the peanut butter over the mixture and create marbled patterns with a knife for surprise flavor bursts.
  5. Pour the mixture into a shallow, wide bowl appropriate for your dog's size. Fill about three-quarters full to allow for expansion during freezing.
  6. Place the bowl in your freezer on a level surface. Freeze for 4 hours for smaller portions or 6 hours for larger bowls until solid but not rock-hard.

Notes

Always use xylitol-free peanut butter as xylitol is toxic to dogs. Supervise first-time use to prevent choking on large chunks. Store covered in freezer for up to 2 weeks. Serve 2-3 times per week as special treats, not meal replacements. Use shallow, wide bowls appropriate for your dog's size.
