Directions
Step One
In a food processor or blender combine yogurt, peanut butter, blueberries, banana, and flaxseed meal. Cover and process or blend until smooth.
Step Two
Pour into 12 lined cups of a muffin tin (silicone cupcake liners work best for these, but foil liners also work well), filling cups halfway. Top each with a mini dog bone treat, if desired. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours. Pop treats out of pan**, remove liners, and freeze in a zip-top plastic freezer bag up to 2 weeks. Let treat stand at room temperature at least 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
*Do not select items that contain the ingredient xylitol. It is toxic to pets, even in small amounts.
**If using paper liners, let pan stand at room temperature 5 minutes. Using a thin metal spatula or butter knife, gently loosen paper liners from edge of pan before removing.
