Strawberry Yogurt Frozen Bites

Makes About 12 small frozen bites · 4 hours 10 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (about 150 g) fresh strawberries, stems and leaves removed
  • 1 cup (about 240 g) plain unsweetened yogurt, xylitol-free
  • 1-2 tablespoons water, only if the mixture is too thick to pour

Instructions

  1. 1Read the yogurt label and confirm it is plain and unsweetened, with no xylitol, added sugar or artificial sweeteners.
  2. 2Hull the strawberries, removing every stem and leaf, and roughly chop them.
  3. 3Blend the strawberries and yogurt until smooth, or mash the strawberries by hand and stir them through for a chunkier texture.
  4. 4Pour into a small silicone mould or an ice cube tray, filling each cavity only part way so the bites stay small.
  5. 5Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid all the way through.
  6. 6Pop out one bite at a time and serve straight from the freezer, ideally somewhere easy to wipe down.

Storage

  • Keep the frozen bites in a sealed container or bag in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • Do not refreeze bites that have thawed — discard any that have softened and been left out.
  • Label the container so nobody mistakes them for human ice cubes.

Serving considerations

  • These are small frozen occasional treats, not a meal and not a complete and balanced diet.
  • Some dogs do not tolerate dairy well. Start with a very small amount and stop if you see loose stools or gas.
  • How much is appropriate depends on your dog's size, health and normal diet — keep treats to a small share of daily intake.
  • Never use sweetened, flavoured or low-fat sweetened yogurt: xylitol is toxic to dogs and appears in some sweetened products.
