Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cups seedless watermelon, rinds removed cut into chunks
  • 1 cup cucumber peeled if preferred
  • 4 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, no xylitol)

Instructions
 

  • Add the watermelon chunks to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Pour a layer of the watermelon puree into each popsicle mold, filling about 2/3 of the way.
  • Insert dog-safe popsicle sticks or let the treats remain stick-free if your molds are small.
  • Place the molds in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until the watermelon layer is semi-frozen but not rock solid.
  • Spoon a layer of yogurt on top of the watermelon layer. This will be the “white rind” of your watermelon slice.
  • Rinse out your blender and add the cucumber.
  • Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water to help it blend. (we added some spinach for a brighter green color. Spirulina works well too)
  • Gently pour a thin layer of cucumber puree on top of the yogurt layer to create the “rind.”
  • Freeze the entire treat for 3–4 hours or until fully solid.
  • Once frozen, remove from molds and serve to your pup as a fun, hydrating treat!

Notes
