We’re so mean. We feast on delicious frozen treats while our hot dogs drool. We couldn’t take it anymore. This summer, our dogs indulge with us. But no artificially flavored, popsicles for our sweet fur babies will do. For a much better choice, we got word from Woof Report reader Adrian (and treat taster, Benny) about fresh, frozen "Pupsicles" that are as healthy as they are yummy. For an easy-to-make natural treat your dog will love, don’t wait. Freeze up a batch today.

Pupsicles

Ingredients

2 mashed bananas
1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup organic apple juice
2 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla)

Instructions

– Puree all ingredients in a blender.

– Pour into ice cube trays or small plastic cups and freeze for one hour or more, depending on the temperature setting.

– Thaw just so slightly before serving.

This recipe yields three dozed treats.

Note: The apple juice can be substituted with a jar of baby food (any fruit flavor) because it has great nutritional value and is easy to digest. Just be sure to use an organic brand with no added sugars of preservatives.
