• Calories: 220-260
• Protein: 8-10 g
• Fat: 4-6 g
• Carbohydrates: 40-48 g

Ingredients

• 17.6 oz watermelon (seedless, cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 8.5 oz plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients and Blend the Base

• 17.6 oz watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 8.5 oz plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint

Start by cutting your seedless watermelon into 1-inch cubes and measure out 17.6 oz.

I like to partially freeze the watermelon cubes for about 30 minutes before blending—this creates a naturally creamier texture without diluting the mixture with extra ice.

Add the watermelon cubes and Greek yogurt to a blender and blend until completely smooth, then gently fold in the finely chopped fresh mint by hand to keep the color vibrant and distribute the flavor evenly throughout.

Step 2: Mold and Freeze the Treats

• blended watermelon yogurt mixture from Step 1

Pour the blended mixture from Step 1 into your silicone dog treat molds or ice cube trays, filling each cavity until level.

Tap the molds gently on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles and ensure an even texture.

Place in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours until completely solid.

Step 3: Unmold and Serve

• frozen treats from Step 2

Remove the molds from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes, then gently pop out the treats.

Serve your pup one or two of these refreshing frozen treats, and store any extras in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
