Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or non-fat)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (natural or regular)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup, agave, or your favorite sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, chocolate chips (if using), and a pinch of sea salt.
- Mix: Gently stir the ingredients until well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or peanut butter flavor if desired.
- Prepare for Freezing: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a mini muffin tin to facilitate portioning.
- Shape: Spoon or pour the yogurt mixture into individual portions on the lined baking sheet or into the mini muffin tin.
- Add Toppings (Optional): Sprinkle extra chocolate chips, drizzle peanut butter, or add chopped nuts on top to add texture and flavor.
- Freeze: Place the tray or muffin tin carefully in the freezer and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the bites are fully solidified.
- Store: Once frozen, remove the bites from the containers and transfer them into a freezer-safe container or bag. Store in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
Notes
- Make sure to use dog-safe peanut butter free of xylitol and other harmful additives.
- The addition of chocolate chips is optional and should be avoided if making treats for dogs, as chocolate is toxic to them; substitute with carob chips for dog safety.
- You can customize sweetness by choosing honey, maple syrup, or agave depending on dietary preferences.
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture, but non-fat works for a lower calorie option.
- Adjust portion sizes based on your dog’s size and dietary needs.
