You'll need Dixie Cups for this one. You can also do it in ice cube trays but it's not as fun, somehow, as tearing up that Dixie Cup. 
As always, for supplemental feeding only. You might want to try one too!
- 3 cups whole milk yogurt or greek style yogurt (best, higher protein)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (natural, no sugar added, preferred)
- 1/2 cup mashed blueberries
- 1/2 cup mashed raspberries or strawberries
Blend the peanut butter and 1 cup yogurt in a blender or food processor. Mix 1 cup yogurt and the blueberries in one bowl, and 1 cup yogurt and red berries in another bowl. (see where we are going with this?)
What I like to do is set up the cups in a shallow baking dish or cake pan first. Then, pick a color! Fill all the cups with that color, then freeze well. Take them out, do another layer (keep the other fillings cold meanwhile), freeze that one, then do the last layer the same way.
To serve, peel the Dixie cups away from the frozen treat and hand feed. No, your dog doesn't care what color it is, but it's fun to make and the berries are great for their antioxidant value, and the yogurt and peanuts are a nice source of cool protein for hot days.
This is great fun if you are having a social event for doggy friends. You can change the colors seasonally. Pumpkin makes yellow/orange filling, pureed parsley or spinach makes green, the list goes on and on! Humans might not be quite so into the pumpkin and parsley, though.
