Frozen PB & Pumpkin Treats!
These are super easy to make, only three ingredients, and got a 4/4 basset approval rating! In the Texas heat, we’re always looking for ways to keep our beloved fur babies cool, and these healthy treats are a perfect snack to beat the heat.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup pumpkin puree [100% - not the pie filling]
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup natural peanut butter [no xylitol!]
Instructions
Mix pumpkin, yogurt and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.
Place silicone molds or ice cube trays on a cookie sheet [this keeps everything flat in the freezer].
Spoon mixture into the molds and gently tap on the counter to ensure all the air escapes.
Place on a flat surface in your freezer and leave them for 3-4 hours.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer!
