Why These Treats Are a Total Win (For You & Your Dog!)
This isn’t one of those Pinterest fails. Here’s why these frozen goodies deserve a spot in your freezer:
- Just 3 ingredients: Banana, yogurt, and blueberries. That’s it!
- Budget-friendly: Uses everyday kitchen staples.
- 100% natural: No fillers, no preservatives—just real food.
- Dog-tested, pup-approved: Monty goes into full zoomies when I open the freezer.
- Perfectly portioned: Small, manageable bites for all dog sizes.
- Nutrient-rich: Packed with vitamins, probiotics, and antioxidants.
What You’ll Need 🛒
Keep it simple with these pantry and fridge staples:
- 1 ripe banana – The browner, the better for mashing and natural sweetness.
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt – Full of gut-friendly probiotics and less lactose than regular yogurt.
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries – Antioxidant-rich and low in sugar.
How to Make Blueberry Banana Frozen Dog Treats 🍨
Let’s break this down step-by-step:
- Mash the banana in a bowl until smooth. (Helpful assistant: your pup licking the spoon!)
- Stir in the Greek yogurt and blueberries. Mix well but gently.
- Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray.
- Freeze for 2–3 hours, or until completely solid.
✨ Quick tip: To release the treats easily, run the bottom of the mold under warm water for a few seconds. Pop them out like magic!
➡️ These are perfect after bath time, for summer afternoon chill-outs, or anytime you want your dog to think you’re the best human ever. They also make great conversation starters when guests see “homemade dog treats” on your counter. Fancy, right?
Monty-Approved Tips for Pup Parents 🐾
Some handy tricks I’ve learned from life with my snack-loving Westie:
- Keep portions small: Healthy doesn’t mean unlimited. A few per week is ideal.
- Store like a pro: Keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Treat timing: Use them for cooling down after walks, as post-grooming rewards, or just because you love your pup.
- Fruit swaps: Want to mix things up? Try apples or strawberries! But steer clear of grapes, raisins, citrus, and cherries—those are dangerous for dogs.

FAQs: What Pup Parents Are Asking!
1. Are blueberries and bananas safe for dogs?
Yes! These fruits are vet-approved and offer antioxidants, fiber, and natural vitamins. Just be sure to monitor your pup the first time in case of sensitivities.
2. How often can I give my dog frozen treats?
Treats like these are best served a few times per week—not daily meals, just special moments.
3. Can puppies eat these too?
Definitely! Just use smaller molds and give appropriately small servings for little bellies.
4. Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek?
Sure—just make sure it’s plain and unsweetened. Greek is preferred due to lower lactose and extra probiotics.
5. Do frozen treats help dogs stay cool?
Yes! They’re especially great for warm days, keeping your pup cool, calm, and content.
