Frosty Paws On a Hot Day

Things are finally warming up here in Minnesota so we're looking for various ways to keep Juno cool. Frosty paws are icy treats that are easy to make and good for her too (the probiotics in the yogurt help her digest).

32 oz plain yogurt (one of those large containers)
1 ripe banana
peanut butter (we use reduced fat so that Juno can keep her girlish figure)
honey (opt. -- we don't use honey 'cause the banana is probably enough sweetness)



Mash up the banana.

Add a few dollops of peanut butter (2-3 tablespoons). Mix up well. Add yogurt. Keep on stirring.

Call the pup over to lick the bowl (this step is crucial). Fill up a few ice cube containers with the mixture and then throw them in the freezer overnight before popping them out and storing them in a freezer bag for easy dolling out. We spoon the leftovers into a Kong and freeze.

Juno enjoys her Frosty Paw Kong. We stuff the cubes in her kong or just give 'em to her whole.
