Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups seedless watermelon cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt optional
  • Silicone molds or ice cube trays
  • Optional: A few fresh mint leaves
  • Optional: 1 tsp chia seeds
  • Optional: A few drops of salmon oil

Method
 

  1. 1. Puree the watermelon chunks in a blender until smooth. Strain if overly watery.
  2. 2. Rinse the blender, then blend blueberries (with yogurt if using) into a thick swirl.
  3. 3. Fill silicone molds about 3/4 full with watermelon puree.
  4. 4. Drop a teaspoon of the blueberry mixture into each mold and swirl gently using a toothpick.
  5. 5. Place the molds in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. 6. Once frozen, pop out the treats and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Silicone molds work best for easy removal.
Serve slightly softened for easy chewing for puppies or senior dogs.
Run warm water under molds to release treats if stuck.
Adjust texture with banana or yogurt if mixture is too runny.
