Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
  • 1/2 cup blueberries

Equipment

  • Silicone Mold(s)
  • Piping bag or ziplock bag (optional, but helpful)

Method
 

  1. Begin by chopping the strawberries and halving the blueberries.
  2. Place the chopped strawberries and halved blueberries at the bottom of the silicone molds. Ensure that the colorful side of the fruit faces down so that it will show through on the other side, creating a festive red, white, and blue effect.
  3. Using a piping bag or a ziplock bag (if using), fill the molds with the plain Greek yogurt. Be sure to cover any holes you see to prevent air pockets.
  4. Add another layer of fruit on top of the yogurt in each mold.
  5. Fill in any gaps with more yogurt, ensuring that the fruit is evenly distributed throughout each mold.
  6. Place the filled molds in the freezer for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely frozen.
  7. Once frozen solid, remove the molds from the freezer and carefully pop out the pupsicles.
  8. Serve these patriotic treats to your pup on a hot 4th of July day and watch them enjoy the cool and refreshing snack!

Notes

Important Note: Remember to supervise your dog while they enjoy these treats, especially if they tend to gulp down their food quickly. If you're dog is on the smaller side or a fast eater, buy smaller molds or cut the treats into smaller pieces.
