In preparation of the Summer sun, we thought that we’d share some amazing frozen treats for the whole family to share. That’s right, popsicles and pupsicles. Hoomans, your furbabies will love these treats as much as you do!
There is no sneaky dog food hiding in the recipe to make them pet safe, but they’re filled with ingredients that are safe for the whole family (furry and fur-less) to share.
What do you need to make these? Nothing fancy! Although the Ninja Creami is very much trending right now, you can make these in your own kitchen blender.
You’ll also need popsicle moulds/trays, but if you don’t have one to hand, ice cube trays, silicone muffin trays or small Tupperware will do the job!
Although these frozen treats for the whole family are super tasty, be sure your pooch doesn’t overindulge, one a day is plenty! It’s important to make sure your dog is getting a nutritious, balanced diet and maintains a healthy weight.
How to make the perfect popsicle
With Summer right around the corner, preparing yourself and your pup for the weather is top priority. There are lots of ways you can help keep your dog cool in the warmer months. As well as providing plenty of cool, clean water, and creating shady spots for them to relax in, you can also make some tasty frozen treats! Here are some of natural dog food brand Harringtons favourite dog-friendly ‘pupsicle’ recipes for you to try:
Frozen ‘Pupsicles’
With a range of flavour options, these are a great way to use up ingredients like fresh fruit and make some tasty treats that both you and your pooch can enjoy together! As they use people-friendly ingredients, they make great treats for you and your four-legged friend.
Top tip: avoid using popsicle sticks in your dog’s pupsicle as they can be a choking hazard – keep the sticks for your snack, and out of theirs.
Berry flavour
Pop one cup of strawberries, one cup of blueberries and one cup of raspberries into a blender with 400g of greek yoghurt and one tablespoon of honey. Blend until smooth and then pour into ice lolly moulds, remembering only to put popsicle sticks into the ones you’re serving to people. Freeze for 2-3 hours and then they’re ready to serve!
Banana and Peanut Butter
Blitz a banana, 400g of greek yogurt, one tablespoon of honey and two tablespoons of natural peanut butter (xylitol is a sweetener sometimes found in peanut butter which is toxic to dogs) in a blender until smooth. Pour the mixture into ice lolly trays and place popsicle sticks in the ones for people, then freeze for 2-3 hours. Then they’re ready to eat!
Strawberry and Banana
Blend one banana and one cup of strawberries with 400g of greek yogurt and one tablespoon of honey. Once smooth, pour the mixture into the trays and insert the popsicle sticks into the human-designated lollies, leaving the dog’s ones stick-free. Freeze for 2-3 hours and then enjoy!
