What Is A Pupsicle?
Basically it is a dog version of the popsicle which we we all know and love! But a pupsicle is a bit unique because there can be so many variations to it. From vegetables to meath to veggies and fruit – there are almost unlimited options to create a pupsicle frozen dog treat your pooch will really love.
Ingredients
- 1 Banana
- 1 Golden delicious apple
- 1 Cup spinach
- 1 Cup parsley
- 1 Cup water
Add the following to make it a more flavorful human version”
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 6 ice cubes
Make sure you wash and dry the apples, spinach and parsley before blending to ensure all dirt is removed.
Instructions
- Cut banana into small slices
- Cut apple into small pieces
- Cut parsley leaves off of the stems
- Add spinach and all items above into the food processor and blend
- Add water and surge
- Add more water if the mixture seems too thick
- Pour liquid into molds
- Freeze over night
- Remove from molds and store in containers in the freezer
I would only let these be in your freezer for 1-2 months tops to make sure you are giving them the freshest treat possible!
Want proof your dog will love these?
Below is one of the molds that I poured my mix into – notice anything weird? Yep – my dog did some counter surfing and clearly made it clear he liked what he tasted.
Items You Will Need
Below are some items you will need to create this recipe.
- Food processor
- Molds – I used this set for the examples you see here
- Cutting board
- Knife
- Cookie sheet (not required but helps to deal with the silicone molds)
- Measuring cup or squeeze bottle (not required but may help get the mix into the molds, I used a small measuring spoon I had for mine and it worked)
If you use the mold I recommend above you should get about (35) 1″ treats. You can use a bigger mold to get less treats – but that are larger.
Another great dog treat recipe you can try are my Coconut Oil Dog Treat With Blueberries!
Additional Tips
I highly recommend putting the silicone molds on a cookie sheet to make it easier to move them into the freezer. You will just need to make sure it fits in your freezer.
Once you give these to your dog they will melt pretty quick so I would recommend giving them these treats outdoors.
