Banana, Peanut Butter, and Yogurt Raw Smoothie for Dogs

Smoothies make a delicious and nutritious summer treat for humans, and now our dogs can indulge in a frozen snack as well with this healthy, dog-friendly recipe.

This is the perfect dessert for your dogs to enjoy on a hot day. After preparing it in the blender, I froze it in a plastic container so that it morphed into more of a frozen ice cream loaf. My dogs had already had breakfast on the day that I made this, so I cut one piece and plopped it into a bowl for the two of them to share.

Every now and then, their tongues would get cold and they’d take a break from the dessert and head over to their water bowls for a sip. But as soon as they warmed up for a second, they were right back at it. Not many dogs can resist the temptation of peanut butter!

• 103 grams (about ¾ cup) sliced, frozen banana
• ⅛ cup smooth peanut butter (make sure there is no added salt and no xylitol)
• 3 cups of plain, low-fat yogurt

1. Freeze your banana for a few hours or overnight.
2. Measure out the above amounts of yogurt, peanut butter, and frozen banana and blend until smooth.
3. Once prepared, the smoothie can also be frozen to make a fun frozen treat.
