Ingredients
Peanut Butter Layer
¼ cup creamy peanut butter (natural peanut butter with no added sugar or salt is best for dogs)*
¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp honey
Blueberry Layer
½ blueberries (frozen or fresh)
½ cup plain Greek yogurt, divided
Directions
Peanut Butter Layer
Add the peanut butter, yogurt, and honey to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Spoon the mixture into the molds of your choice or use ice cube trays filling each cup halfway. Gently tap the molds on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Place the molds in the freezer for 30 minutes to set the bottom layer.
Blueberry Layer
Add the blueberries and yogurt to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Spoon the mixture into the molds on top of the bottom layer until the mold cups are full. Gently tap the molds on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Place the molds back in freezer and let freeze at least 8 hours, or overnight.
To serve, remove the molds from the freezer and let stand for 1-2 minutes. Tap the molds on the counter to loosen, then turn out. If you have any trouble, quickly run the molds under warm water to help the treats release, then turn out.
*NOTE: Be sure to check your peanut butter for xylitol, which is extremely toxic to dogs.
