Peanut Butter Swirl Dog Popsicles

These homemade dog popsicles are a cool, refreshing treat for your furry friend in the summertime! Made with simple nutritious ingredients like frozen fruit, plain Greek yogurt, and swirled with creamy peanut butter. Keep a batch frozen in your freezer for those hot days!

I really enjoy learning about nutrition and a healthy lifestyle for dogs, which is why I began HealthyWags making simple heathy treats for my dogs and yours.

My dogs love the taste of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, but I know those foods are not the most nutritious for dogs to eat.

So I wanted to make them a healthier dog treat they can enjoy on a hot summer Florida day – these fruit, yogurt, and peanut butter swirl pupsicles!

You need just a handful of simple ingredients to make these homemade dog popsicles like frozen fruit and plain Greek yogurt.

  •  prep time: 10 MINUTES
  •  cook time: 3 HOURS FREEZE TIME
  •  total time: 10 MINUTES
  •  yield: 8 DOG POPSICLES 1X

Here is everything you need to make this dog popsicle recipe:

  • 1 banana, frozen
  • 2 cups frozen mixed berries
  • 1 cup plain fat free Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 8 tsp creamy peanut butter, divided

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Add frozen banana, frozen berries, Greek yogurt, and water to a blender.
  2. Blend on high for about 30 seconds, until everything is combined and completely smooth – like a smoothie!
  3. Pour the mixture into eight popsicle molds, filling 3/4 of the way full.
  4. Use a spoon to add 1 tsp of peanut butter to each popsicle.
  5. Sprinkle some Bowl Boosters into each popsicle.
  6. Use a butter knife to swirl the peanut butter and Bowl Boosters pieces around.
  7. Add popsicle sticks/stick-shaped treats and freeze the pops for at least 3 hours until frozen through.
  8. Pop them out of the molds and let your dog enjoy!

*Notes

 KITCHEN TOOLS NEEDED

To make this recipe, you need a blender and popsicle molds. You will also need wooden popsicle sticks or a stick-shaped treat like bully sticks, Milk Bones, carrot sticks, or celery. My dog Ziva is a gentle eater, but if your dog is a chomper, I do not recommend using a wooden popsicle stick to avoid a choking hazard.

 WHAT CAN I USE INSTEAD OF POPSICLE MOLDS?

 If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use paper cups or a reusable ice cube trays to freeze the dog popsicles.

Dog popsicles can get messy, so you should let your dog enjoy their popsicle outside or on a hard surface where they can lick up the drippings.
