That’s it! Told you it was easy peasy!
Equipment You’ll Need
Okay, so, to whip up these amazing Blueberry Plain Yogurt Frozen Dog Bite Drops, you won’t need a ton of fancy gadgets. Here’s the lowdown:
- A Blender: Gotta get those blueberries and yogurt super smooth! Any blender will do – I just use my trusty old one!

Step-by-Step Instructions: Making the Blueberry Plain Yogurt Frozen Dog Bite Drops
Okay, buckle up, ’cause this is where the real fun begins! Seriously, making these Blueberry Plain Yogurt Frozen Dog Bite Drops is so easy, a dog could probably do it (maybe with a little help from you!). Here’s the play-by-play:
- Prep the Goodies (2 minutes): First things first, grab your yogurt and blueberries. Make sure those blueberries are ready to go, either freshly washed or thawed if you’re using frozen.
- Blend It Up! (1 minute): Toss the yogurt and blueberries into your blender. Now, blend it until it’s super smooth. You want a nice, creamy consistency. If it’s too thick, you can add a tiny splash of water (I usually don’t need to!).
- Pour and Freeze (2 minutes): Carefully pour that beautiful, blueberry-yogurt mixture into your silicone mold or ice cube tray. Try not to spill… although, if you do, it *might* be okay to lick it off the counter. (Just kidding… mostly!).
- The Waiting Game (at least 2 hours): Pop your filled mold or tray into the freezer. You gotta let it freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the drops are totally solid. Honestly, I sometimes leave them in overnight, just to be sure!
- Serve and Enjoy!: Once frozen, gently pop those little drops out of the mold. And then, the best part: spoil your pup! Serve them those frozen treats, and watch them chomp away!
