Things you’ll need:

-2 ripe bananas peeled and cut into small circles.

-1 to 2 teaspoons of natural, smooth peanut butter.

-12 ounces of natural plain or flavored yogurt.

-Silicone candy mold- use a fun shape of your choice.

-Food processor or blender.

Tip: Most fruit and veggies are safe for dogs. (except grapes and raisins) Change up this recipe by adding shredded carrots, pureed pumpkin, blueberries or a watermelon pulp to the mix. 

Step 1: Prep your bananas by peeling and cutting them up into small chunks. 

Step 2: In a large bowl, add a teaspoon or two of natural peanut butter and 12 ounces of yogurt together.

Step 3: Add ingredients to a blender or food processor and mix lightly, just enough so the ingredients are combined well, but not mushy.
