Ingredients

1 cup Plain Greek yogurt divided
1 cup chopped watermelon
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Instructions

Using a food processor, puree together ⅓ of the yogurt with the chopped watermelon. Blend for about 10-20 seconds until smooth.
0.33 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup chopped watermelon
Spoon watermelon into each mold, filling it up halfway. This will take about 2 small spoonfuls.
Wash the food processor. Then blend together the remaining yogurt and peanut butter until smooth. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if the mixture needs to loosen. It should slowly fall off your spoon.
0.67 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
All peanut butter mixture over the watermelon mixture inside the molds, filling it up to the brim.
Carefully place inside the freezer and chill for 5 hours or overnight.
When done, you can easily pop the treats out of the mold and serve to your favorite four-legged bestie.

Notes

Storage:

To Store: You can store these treats in freezer-safe, airtight container in the freezer for up to two months.

Important For Dog Safety

Xylitol note: Always check the label on your peanut butter before using it in this recipe. Xylitol is an artificial sweetener found in some brands and it is toxic to dogs. If xylitol is listed as an ingredient, do not use it. Brands like Jif and Skippy are safe.

Vet note: Every dog is different. Check with your veterinarian before introducing any new food into your dog's diet, especially if your pup has existing health conditions or dietary restrictions.

Each dog can react differently to any type of new treat that hits its belly. This is important to note when serving your pup something new for the first time. Serve your pup one treat within 24 hours to see how their belly responds before giving them multiple.

Tips:

Depending on your type of yogurt and the temperature, you may need to add 1-2 tablespoons of water to the peanut butter mixture to loosen it up before adding it to the molds. It should slowly fall off your spoon, but shouldn’t be too watery.
The peanut butter in these treats will melt before the watermelon.
Be sure to store these treats inside the freezer when not serving.
