This is the Big Island Dog’s version of a homemade Frosty Paws recipe done organically and with some serious Hawaiian Aloha.
My dogs first found out about Frosty Paws when we found them in a Dog Specialty Store on the Mainland. They love them. Big surprise since Labs love anything they can eat, and the Weimaraner loves food as well.
The store bought dog treat ingredients had sugar and other long words that are far from “wholesome” so the creation of an organic aloha version was born.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 cups (32 oz) plain yogurt
- 1 bananas ripe
- 1/2 cup of your choice mango, pineapple, or papaya
*Substitute any of these topical fruits or go without for a less decadent dog goodie.
Paper cups “Dixie-style” only here on the Island we like to use recyclable material to stay on the Green side of life.
Use a blender until the mixture is nice and smooth.
Pour into paper cups and freeze.
Feeding instructions:
- Take a Big Island Dog Hawaiian Frosty Paw out of the freezer and let stand for 10 min.
- Peel the paper cup off or simply turn the cup over and tap out with the perfect amount of thawing around the edges.
- Have your dog sit pretty. Yum. Let your dog eat it!
- Awwww…. your dog thinks you are the best ever.
More whole food in your dog’s diet is a good thing. Like people, dogs are suffering from too much processed food and lack of exercise. In the long run its less expensive then buying the treats that are good and wholesome.
