2. Dog Friendly Peanut Butter “Banana” Ice Cream

I love this recipe because it really isn’t ice cream which is great if your pet is lactose intolerant. Plus it’s super versatile with what you can top it with. It’s a perfect base for a dog friendly ice cream sundae.

Ingredients:

• 2 Frozen Bananas
• 1tbsp Coconut Milk (or water or raw goat milk)
• 1tbsp Xylitol-Free Peanut Butter

Instructions:

1. Thaw bananas for 10 minutes.
2. Put all ingredients into a food processor, process until an ice-cream like consistency.
3. Serve!

Tip: You can also add freeze-dried strawberries, shredded coconut, or blueberries as a topping.
