Since I’m on summer break from work, I decided it was time to try out a new homemade doggie treat! Last year I tried Bulldog Banana Bites and Homemade Milk Bone Dog Biscuits. This year I found a recipe for Homemade Frosty Paws on the Raise a Green Dog Blog.
1 32 ounce container of low fat, plain organic yogurt
1 banana, mashed
2 Tbsp of organic peanut butter
3 handfuls of organic blueberries (I didn’t have these so I left them out)
Mix the ingredients together and place in ice trays. Freeze for about 3 hours.
The only ice trays I have are the ones for making ice cubes that will fit into bottled water containers.. so that’s why the frosty paws look like string cheese. Hahah. I ran out of room in my 3 ice trays so I used a short cup to make the round one. The Raise a Green Dog post says to you can use cute dog bone shaped ice trays… that would be cute.
These were super easy to make and once frozen I just took them out of the trays and put them in a freezer bag in the freezer. The dogs love them!
Can you tell by the look on Kevin’s face that he wants me to hurry up and get a good picture so he doesn’t have to keep holding out the frosty paw without letting the dogs eat them for my action shots! Hahaha….
Oh and how lovely that you can see my green grocery bags on that chair behind Kevin… and Kevin’s lunch box on the shelf…. and my cute green cordless vacuum that I just got at Lowe’s to help keep up with the dog fur and dirt that they bring in every day!
Oh.. and I did make rice krispie treats for the boys in case anyone was feeling sorry for them…. hahaha

Look at you Little Homemaker go! The doggies look excited for those treats. I like your little green vac, where did you get it?
