Main Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, no artificial sweeteners)
- 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp honey (optional, can be omitted for dogs with sugar concerns)
- 1/4 cup water (for thinning, if necessary)

Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Rinse fresh blueberries under cold water or thaw frozen blueberries. Measure out plain Greek yogurt, honey, coconut oil, and water.
- Blend the mixture: Add the Greek yogurt, blueberries, honey, and coconut oil to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add water to achieve a pourable consistency suitable for molding.
- Fill the paw molds: Pour the blended mixture evenly into paw-shaped silicone molds or any preferred mold, filling each cavity to the top.
- Freeze the treats: Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the treats are fully solidified.
- Serve and store: Once frozen, pop the treats out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Serve to your dog as a cool, nutritious snack whenever desired.
