Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt unsweetened, no xylitol
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal optional
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional
  • 2 tablespoons water or plain coconut water as needed for blending

Method
 

  1. Add the chopped strawberries to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, adding the water or coconut water only as needed to help the blades move.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and honey, if using, and blend again until the mixture is creamy and evenly pink.
  3. Add the rolled oats and flaxseed meal, if using, and pulse in short bursts until a soft, scoopable dough forms with some oat texture remaining.
  4. Scrape the mixture into a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes if it is too soft to shape.
  5. Once firm enough to handle, use clean hands to shape the mixture into sticks about 1/2 inch thick and 3 to 4 inches long, or press into silicone molds.
  6. Arrange the sticks or filled molds on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until the sticks are fully solid.
  8. Remove the frozen sticks from the tray or molds and transfer them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag for storage.
  9. Serve 1 to 2 frozen smoothie sticks per dog as a cool treat, supervising your dog while they enjoy.

Notes

- Always use plain Greek yogurt with no added sweeteners; never use xylitol, as it is toxic to dogs.
- Skip the honey if your dog needs to avoid extra sugars or has a sensitive stomach.
- If the mixture becomes too thin, stir in an extra tablespoon of oats and chill again to firm it up.
- Store the smoothie sticks in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 weeks for best flavor and texture.
