Strawberry Banana Frozen Dog Treats
These frozen dog treats are easy to make and require just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries (about 10 whole strawberries)
- 1 banana
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup water
Equipment Needed
- Blender or food processor
- Measuring cups
- Spoon
- Rubber scraper
- Ice cube trays or silicone molds
I like these paw and bone shaped silicone molds for making smaller treats and these paw shaped molds for larger treats.
Instructions
Place your silicone molds on a cookie sheet. This makes them easier to move to the freezer later.
Prepare your fruit. Wash and remove the stems from fresh strawberries. Peel the banana. Frozen strawberries can be used directly from the bag.
Add the strawberries, banana, peanut butter, and water to a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth. The mixture should have a consistency similar to a milkshake. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to fully incorporate the peanut butter.
Spoon the mixture into your molds or ice cube trays.
Carefully transfer the molds to the freezer.
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully solid.
Remove the treats from the molds and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Keep them in the freezer until ready to serve.
And, finally, give one to your dog!

Ingredient Notes and Tips
If you want to get the best results from this recipe, here are a few helpful tips about each ingredient.
Always consult your veterinarian before adding any new foods to your dog’s diet.
Strawberries
Strawberries add natural sweetness and are a great source of vitamin C and fiber. You can use either fresh or frozen strawberries.
If using frozen strawberries, choose ones without added sugar. Sliced strawberries blend more easily than whole ones.
If using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly and remove the stems.
Banana
A ripe banana works best for this recipe. Look for one that is yellow with some brown spots for natural sweetness.
You can use frozen banana, but avoid using both frozen banana and frozen strawberries together unless your blender can handle it.
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter adds flavor that many dogs love. If your dog has allergies or does not enjoy peanut butter, you can leave it out.
Always use all-natural peanut butter that does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
Water
Water helps the ingredients blend smoothly, especially when using frozen fruit.
Storage Tips
Store these frozen dog treats in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. For best freshness, keep them sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can dogs eat strawberries and bananas?
Yes, both strawberries and bananas are safe for dogs when given in moderation. Strawberries provide vitamin C and fiber, while bananas are a good source of potassium. Always serve them plain, without added sugar or sweeteners.
Can I make these treats without peanut butter?
Yes, you can leave out the peanut butter if your dog has allergies or does not like it. The treats will still turn out well with just the fruit and water.
What kind of peanut butter is safe for dogs?
Always use all-natural peanut butter that does not contain xylitol. Xylitol is highly toxic to dogs, so it is important to check the ingredient label before using any peanut butter.
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, both fresh and frozen fruit work well in this recipe. Just keep in mind that using all frozen ingredients can make blending more difficult, so you may need to add a little extra water or let the fruit soften slightly.
How long do frozen dog treats last?
These treats can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. For the best quality, keep them sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn.
How many treats can I give my dog?
Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calories. The exact amount will depend on your dog’s size and diet, so start with one treat and adjust as needed.
