As St. Patrick’s Day rolls around, it’s not just us humans who get to indulge in all things green and festive. Our furry friends deserve a little luck of the Irish too! This year, why not treat your canine companion to a special homemade frozen delight? These St. Patrick's Day Frozen Treats for Dogs are not only delicious but also packed with wholesome ingredients to keep your pup feeling their best.
Ingredients:
organic coconut milk
banana
fresh parsley
frozen spinach
organic honey
Let's get started by gathering all our ingredients. For the sweet version, we'll need organic coconut milk, a ripe banana, fresh parsley, frozen spinach, and organic honey. If you're opting for the savory variation, grab some reduced or no-sodium chicken broth, fresh parsley, and frozen spinach.
Once everything's set, it's time to blend! In a blender, combine the ingredients for your chosen variation. For the sweet version, toss in the coconut milk, banana, parsley, spinach, and honey. If you're making the savory treats, swap out the coconut milk for chicken broth and blend away until smooth and creamy.
With our mixture all blended up, it's time to pour it into silicone molds. These molds make for perfect paw-sized treats for your pup. Plus, they're easy to clean and reuse for future batches of goodies.
Pop those filled molds into the freezer and let them chill until they're completely frozen. This usually takes a few hours, so it's the perfect opportunity to catch up on some St. Patrick's Day festivities or sneak in a few cuddles with your furry friend.
Once the treats are frozen solid, it's time for the grand unveiling! Pop them out of the molds and arrange them on a plate for a festive presentation. Whether you're serving up the sweet or savory variation, your pup is sure to be drooling with anticipation.
I use a small container to fill the silicone molds. It makes it easier to get closer to them and I spill less!
