Your dog deserves a summer treat, too, and this homemade Frosty Paws recipe is the best way to make that happen. Four simple ingredients and your pup is going to lose their mind!
Add cottage cheese to blender or food processor and blend on high for 1- 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until completely smooth with no visible curds.
Add melted coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla and blend for another 20-30 seconds, until fully combined and silky.
Optional: add peanut butter and blend until smooth.
Divide evenly between about 8 (3 oz) paper cups, filling each almost to the top. Tap the cups gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Place the cups on a baking sheet and put in freezer for at least 4 hours or until ice cream is completely solid.
To serve, peel away the paper cup and place the frozen treat directly in your pup's bowl.
Notes
*Note that puppies should not have honey, so if your pup is under a year old, use maple syrup or swap for 1 tablespoon mashed banana. You can also leave out the sweetener if your dog won't care.
