Frozen ‘Pup-sicle’ Bites

I’m a bit of a crazy dog mom. From making sure Summit gets enough off-leash time in the morning, to belly rubs at night, I just want the best for our little pup.

This is especially true when it comes to his health and diet.

Before we brought Summit home, I did extensive research into the best diets for dogs and let me tell you, not only is there an abundance of information out there but also a ton of conflicting opinions. After scouring through all the information we could find and consulting our vet, Tim and I ultimately decided that feeding Summit a whole and balanced diet, with real, fresh foods mixed in would be best. Besides, if Tim and I are eating wholly why shouldn’t he?

While Summit does still get the occasional “kibble” (he’s been on Nutro brand since he was a pup), his food bowl is mainly comprised of Ollie, eggs, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Since I also only typically give him organic treats, I’ve started experimenting more and more with making my own! For this past round, I decided to make frozen ‘pup-sicle’ bites and boy, oh boy does Summit eat these up!

To make these I combined 3/4 cup peanut butter with 6 fresh strawberries and one banana in my Magic Bullet. I also added a little less than 1/4 cup of water to help make it easier to pour the mixture into the silicone molds (you could also use beef or chicken stock if you have it handy, I just happened to be out). I let them set overnight and bam! not only a super easy recipe but Summit absolutely loves them!

Another pro?! You really could test any flavor combos your dog loves. Summit’s been really into blueberries and watermelon as of late, so I might just have to try those next!

This mixture filled my molds, which you can find on Amazon and yielded 44 little bites.

Hope they enjoy!

March 22nd we packed up our car with our then 10 d March 22nd we packed up our car with our then 10 day old for what was supposed to be a 4 week stint outside the city

Fast forward 9 months and while we’re so grateful for all the amazing moments we’ve had with family... it’s a little hard not to miss the place we called “home” for the past 10+ years 

Crowded subways, bodega conversations, drinks at the dive bar across the street, sushi delivery at 1 am, ferry rides, Summit on the pier... after work spin classes, wine on the roof deck, midnight strolls with the city lights reflecting on the water, the energy... hanging in the park, Saturday morning farmer market runs, New York bagels (and pizza) and above all else the friendships

2020 has taught me home truly is where the heart is but part of my heart will always be in NYC

This month is a special one because not only is Av This month is a special one because not only is Aveline 9 months old but her big cousin (and very best friend) is 3! 

We’ve hit some big milestones this past month: walking with an assist, figuring out steps, and standing on our own.... all with our big cousin cheering us on!
🥳

We love you HMJ!
