Why You’ll Love This Recipe

- Great for hot days
- No added sugar or artificial ingredients
- Easy to customize using different mold sizes
Ingredients
- ½ cup English cucumber
- 1 cup pineapple (fresh or frozen)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup water
Ingredient Notes
English Cucumber
I use English cucumbers because they are considered “seedless.” Their seeds are soft and don’t need to be removed before blending.
Pineapple
Fresh or frozen pineapple both work well. If using fresh pineapple, be sure to remove the skin and core before blending.
Banana
A ripe banana adds natural sweetness and helps create a smoother texture.
Directions
Wash and chop the cucumber.
If using fresh pineapple, remove the skin and core, then chop into chunks.
Peel the banana.
Add the banana, cucumber, pineapple, and water to a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth.
Pour or spoon the mixture into silicone molds.
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely frozen.
Remove the treats from the molds and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag.
Don’t forget to let your dog do a taste test. That’s Luna’s favorite part of homemade dog treats!

Tips
Place silicone molds on a cookie sheet before filling them. This makes it much easier to transfer them to the freezer without spilling.
Adjust the size of the treats by using larger or smaller molds. I like these paw and bone shaped molds for smaller treats and these paw shaped molds for larger treats.
You can also make smaller treats by filling the molds only partway.
Silicone molds make removing frozen treats easy, but regular ice cube trays work well too.
If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, add the ingredients gradually instead of all at once.
If the mixture seems too thick, add a little extra water until it blends smoothly.
Storage
Store these frozen dog treats in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 4 months.
Important Notes
Always consult your veterinarian before introducing new foods to your dog’s diet, especially if your dog has allergies, digestive sensitivities, or other health conditions.
