Easy Peanut Butter Yogurt Popsicles (2 Ingredients!)
Summer’s here, and if your pup is anything like Monty (my cheeky little Westie), that means one thing: snack patrol is in full swing. And not just any snack will do. We’re talking cold, creamy, tail-wagging goodness that makes your dog’s ears perk up the second the freezer door creaks. It’s practically a sport in our house — Monty hears the freezer open and suddenly appears like a furry magician.
But let’s be real — pet store frozen treats can cost more than your own ice cream. It adds up fast, especially if you’re going through a bag a week like we used to.
And half the time, the ingredients are… suspect (what even is “meat by-product blend”?). That’s why I started making my own frozen dog treats at home, and let me tell you — once you try these peanut butter yogurt pupsicles, there’s no going back. They’re simple, healthy, wallet-friendly, and crazy popular with pups of all sizes. Plus, you get the peace of mind knowing exactly what’s in your dog’s snack.
So if you’ve ever found yourself scrolling Pinterest for no bake dog treats, pup popsicles, or easy dog treats with 2 ingredients — but ended up with 18 tabs open, decision fatigue, and no treats made — this post is for you 🙂

🥜 Why Peanut Butter & Yogurt Make the Perfect Pup Combo
Not all treats are created equal — and when it comes to frozen dog treats recipes, this duo checks all the boxes:
- Peanut butter is packed with protein and healthy fats (just make sure it’s xylitol-free!).
- Plain yogurt brings probiotics to the bowl, helping support your dog’s digestion.
- The combo creates a creamy texture dogs adore.
- It’s affordable and easy to keep stocked in your fridge.
Together, they make a smooth and satisfying base that you can dress up or down depending on your pup’s preferences. Whether your dog loves fruit, veggies, or just the basics, peanut butter and yogurt are the perfect blank canvas.
Bonus Tip:
These ingredients are super customizable! You can add fruit, sprinkle in extras like chia seeds, or keep it simple — whatever your dog’s taste buds prefer.
And the best part? You probably already have everything in your kitchen.
🧊 Simple Peanut Butter Yogurt Pupsicle Recipe
Here’s Monty’s go-to homemade frozen dog treat — easy, wholesome, and tail-wag tested! This one’s been on regular rotation in our house during every heatwave.
You’ll need:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted, xylitol-free peanut butter
- Optional: sprinkle of cinnamon or a small banana
Instructions:
- Mix ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
- Spoon into molds (or paper cupcake liners). If you want to get fancy (and fun), insert a dog bone treat into each mold before freezing — it makes the perfect edible popsicle stick! 🦴
- Freeze for a few hours until firm.
Pro Tip:
If your dog isn’t peanut-mad, swap in pumpkin purée instead! You’ll still get that creamy texture and rich flavor they love. These no bake dog treats homemade are great for post-walk rewards, hot summer afternoons, or anytime your dog gives you the “I’ve been so good” eyes.
Storage Tip:
Keep them in a sealed container in the freezer — they’ll last up to 2 weeks (if your dog doesn’t devour them sooner). You can also pre-portion them and use treat bags if you’re into meal prepping — yes, treat prepping is a thing around here 😉
🍌 Fun Variations to Try
Monty? He’s an equal opportunity treat gobbler — but if your dog is a bit pickier, trying out different combos might help you find their new favorite puppy popsicle recipe.
Want to keep things interesting? Here are a few tasty twists to play around with:
- Berry Boost: Add 1/4 cup crushed blueberries for antioxidant power.
- Banana Bread Vibes: Mash half a banana and a pinch of cinnamon.
- Carrot Cake Crunch: Grated carrots and a sprinkle of ground flax.
- Tummy Tamer: A splash of goat’s milk and a dash of ginger for sensitive bellies.
- Apple Pie Pup-sicles: Add grated apple and a hint of cinnamon for a sweet, autumnal twist.
You can even layer flavors in the molds — half peanut butter base, half fruit swirl. It’s like a DIY pup parfait that’s Pinterest-worthy AND drool-worthy 😉
If your dog is picky, try offering mini versions first to see what gets the biggest tail thump.
🐕 Real-Life Pup Tips (From Monty & Me)
- If your dog’s sensitive to dairy, try coconut yogurt instead. Just make sure it’s unsweetened and plain.
- Not a fan of molds? Use an ice cube tray, mini muffin tin, or even cupcake liners for easy single-serve portions.
- For dogs who inhale treats, try freezing a spoonful in a Kong toy for longer-lasting fun.
- These make perfect cooling treats after a summer walk — especially if you have a fluffy pup who overheats easily.
- Let the treats soften slightly for older dogs or those with dental sensitivities.
And yes, I’ve taste-tested them. They’re actually not bad… though I still prefer my ice cream with chocolate. Monty, however, is fully committed to the peanut life.
🐾 Before You Go…
If your pup is anything like Monty, frozen treats are less a luxury and more a lifestyle. These peanut butter yogurt pupsicles are a game changer — affordable, healthy, and easy enough to whip up during your next coffee break.
