Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. Gather the Ingredients: Ensure you have all your ingredients ready, including Greek yogurt, pure pumpkin, honey, banana, peanut butter, and any optional ingredients like chicken broth.
2. Mash the Banana: If using banana, peel and mash it in a small bowl until smooth. This will help blend it more easily into the mixture.
3. Mix the Yogurt and Pumpkin: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with the pure canned pumpkin. Stir until smooth and fully combined. If you’re adding honey or mashed banana, mix those in as well.

Step 2: Customize the Popsicle Base

4. Add Optional Ingredients: If you’d like to add peanut butter, spoon it into the mixture and stir until it’s fully blended. If the consistency is too thick, you can add a little water or chicken broth to thin it out slightly. The mixture should be pourable but not too runny.

Step 3: Pour the Mixture into Molds

5. Pour into Popsicle Molds: Spoon the mixture into popsicle molds, ice cube trays, or silicone molds. You can find dog-friendly popsicle molds at pet stores or online, but regular ice cube trays will work just fine if you don’t have molds. Fill each compartment almost to the top, leaving a little room for the popsicles to expand as they freeze.
6. Add Sticks (Optional): If you’re using a mold that requires sticks, insert the sticks into the molds after the mixture is poured in. You can also use small dog-friendly treats or frozen fruit pieces as the stick for added fun.

Step 4: Freeze the Popsicles

7. Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 6-8 hours or overnight. The popsicles need to be completely frozen to hold their shape.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

8. Remove from Molds: Once the popsicles are fully frozen, carefully remove them from the molds. If they’re stuck, run warm water over the outside of the molds to loosen them.
9. Serve: Give your dog a refreshing Yogurt and Pumpkin Popsicle on a hot day or as a special treat. Be sure to supervise your dog as they enjoy their frozen snack.
