Print Recipe

These healthy frozen dog treat pupsicles combine pumpkin puree, plain Greek yogurt, and blueberries to create a nutritious and refreshing snack perfect for hot summer days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (245 grams) plain canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
  • ½ cup (75 grams) blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) water or unsweetened apple juice

Instructions

  1. Measure 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, ½ cup blueberries, optional 1 teaspoon honey, and ¼ cup water or unsweetened apple juice.
  2. If using fresh blueberries, rinse and pat dry. For frozen, no need to thaw unless your blender struggles with frozen chunks.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree and yogurt until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries. For a smoother texture, pulse them briefly in a food processor before adding.
  5. Stir in the optional teaspoon of honey and ¼ cup water or apple juice to loosen the mixture slightly.
  6. Spoon the mixture into silicone molds or ice cube trays, filling each cavity almost to the top. Tap the tray gently to release air bubbles.
  7. Place the molds on a flat surface in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until solid.
  8. Pop out a pupsicle or two for your dog on a hot day. Store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to two weeks.

Notes

If pupsicles are too hard to remove, run warm water briefly over the back of the mold to loosen. Cut pupsicles into bite-sized chunks for small dogs to avoid choking hazards. Use water or unsweetened apple juice to keep pupsicles soft enough for easy licking. Avoid xylitol or artificial sweeteners as they are toxic to dogs. Substitute coconut or almond yogurt for dairy-free option.
