Frozen Blueberry Yogurt Drops

Little frozen drops of plain unsweetened yogurt and blueberries for a cooling enrichment snack.

Enrichment snack About 24 small frozen drops 10 min ~3 kcal per drop (estimate) Healthy adult dogs only

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cupPlain unsweetened yogurtConfirm it is xylitol-free (no xylitol / birch sugar) and has no added sugar or flavors.
  • 1/4 cupFresh or frozen blueberriesRinse fresh berries; mash or halve so they are easy for a small mouth.

Steps

  1. Mash the blueberries and stir them into the plain yogurt until well combined.
  2. Spoon tiny drops onto a parchment-lined tray or into a silicone mini-mold.
  3. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours until solid.
  4. Pop out the drops and serve one or two as a cool snack; keep the rest frozen.

Storage

Keep frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months. Serve straight from the freezer.

Portion guidance

One or two drops make a satisfying snack for a 4-7 lb Yorkie. They count toward the ~10% daily treat budget. Introduce dairy slowly - some dogs are sensitive to it - and skip if your dog gets loose stools.
