Ingredients You’ll Need

Every ingredient in these Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites works together to create a treat that’s creamy, satisfying, and totally pup-approved. There’s nothing unnecessary or artificial here—just smart picks for happy, healthy pets.

Greek Yogurt (1 cup, plain and unsweetened, no xylitol): Packed with creamy texture and loads of protein, this base keeps the bites smooth and refreshing. Always double-check for xylitol, which is dangerous for dogs.
Natural Peanut Butter (1/2 cup, unsalted, no xylitol): Full of flavor and healthy fats, peanut butter brings a nutty richness your dog will love—just read labels carefully to avoid salt and any sweeteners.
Ripe Banana (1, mashed): Bananas add natural sweetness and a soft texture, plus a boost of potassium and fiber. A perfectly ripe banana will smash and blend in effortlessly!

How to Make Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites

Step 1: Mix the Ingredients

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, natural peanut butter, and mashed banana. Use a sturdy spatula or spoon to blend everything together until completely smooth—no streaks or chunks left behind. This creamy mixture is the foundation of your Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites!

Step 2: Fill the Molds

Spoon the blended mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays, filling each cavity about three-quarters full. If you want perfectly shaped, easy-to-release bites, silicone molds are the way to go. If you don’t have molds, ice cube trays work great too!

Step 3: Tap and Level

Gently tap the filled mold or tray on your counter a few times. This helps eliminate any sneaky air bubbles hiding out in the mixture and smooths the tops so each Peanut Butter Yogurt Bite looks perfectly paw-some.

Step 4: Freeze Until Solid

Slide the filled molds into your freezer and let them freeze for at least three hours—overnight works well if you want them extra firm. Once set, these frozen treats are ready to bring instant joy!

Step 5: Pop Out and Store

Once completely frozen, pop the Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites out of the molds and transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. Store in your freezer until treat time strikes, and watch your pup’s eyes light up whenever you reach for them!

How to Serve Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites

Garnishes

For a bit of extra flair, you can sprinkle a tiny pinch of finely chopped fresh parsley or unsweetened coconut flakes on top before freezing. Not only does it make the bites look adorable, but parsley is also great for freshening up your dog’s breath!

Side Dishes

Serve your Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites alongside other healthy, dog-safe snacks like fresh carrot sticks or apple slices (no seeds). The refreshing mix of cool bites and crunchy veggies will turn treat time into a real event for your canine companion!

Creative Ways to Present

Freeze the mixture in fun shapes using novelty silicone molds—paw prints, bones, or hearts are always crowd-pleasers. You can even make mini “pup-sicles” by inserting a small dog biscuit as a stick before freezing for an extra playful presentation.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Store unused Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites in an airtight container in the freezer. They’ll keep fresh and tasty for up to two months, making it easy to always have a supply of cool treats ready when your pup deserves a little something special.

Freezing

These treats are designed to be stored frozen, so feel free to make a big batch at once! Just ensure you portion them out before freezing so you can grab a bite or two as needed, rather than freezing the mixture in a single block.

Reheating

There’s no reheating needed—just serve straight from the freezer. If your dog prefers a slightly softer texture, let a bite sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes before serving, but don’t leave them out too long or they’ll melt.

FAQs

Can I use other nut butters instead of peanut butter?

You can substitute almond butter (unsalted and xylitol-free), but always check with your vet before introducing a new ingredient, as some nuts are not safe for dogs and individual pups may have allergies.

Is it safe to give Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites to puppies?

In moderation, yes! As long as your puppy tolerates dairy and peanut butter, these treats are perfectly safe for most pups. Consult your vet, especially with puppies under 12 weeks or those with sensitive tummies.

Can I use flavored yogurt?

Stick with plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt without any additives, sugar, or artificial sweeteners (especially xylitol, which is toxic to dogs). Flavored yogurts often contain hidden sugars or other ingredients that aren’t safe for dogs.

How many Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites can I give my dog?

Think of these as an occasional snack. One or two bites a day is just right for most medium-sized dogs, but always factor in your dog’s size, daily calorie needs, and any other treats given that day.

Can people eat these treats?

Technically, yes—these are made with regular human food ingredients! However, they’re formulated with your dog’s taste buds in mind, so they may seem a little bland for people (but totally safe if a curious toddler grabs one).

Final Thoughts

There’s nothing quite like sharing a treat that’s both homemade and healthy, and your pup will be thrilled with these simple, delicious Peanut Butter Yogurt Bites. Give them a try, have fun with the process, and enjoy watching your best friend savor every frosty bite—you’ll soon see why these are a hit with pet parents and pups alike!
