To make these treats, blend one ripe banana and 2 tablespoons of organic peanut butter in a blender until you get a smooth mixture.

This treat will be High in electrolyte-balancing, muscle-building potassium, and packed with Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C for immunity.

Frozen Apple and Honey Treats

This recipe is perfect for those pups with a sweet tooth! Apples are a great source of fiber and vitamin C, while honey has antibacterial properties and can help soothe a sore throat. To make these treats, peel and core one apple, then chop it into small pieces. Mix the chopped apple with 2 tablespoons of raw honey (local honey is a bonus to help with local seasonal allergies!) and blend until smooth. Pour into the Messy Mutts Christmas Treat Mold and freeze for at least 2 hours. Once frozen, take the treats out of the mold and let your furry friend enjoy.

Baked Chicken and Carrot Treats

If your pet loves baked treats, this is the recipe for them! Chicken is a great source of protein and essential amino acids, while carrots are packed with vitamin A and beta carotene. To make these treats, preheat your oven to 350°F. Mix one cup of shredded cooked chicken, one grated carrot, and one egg in a bowl. Add in 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour and knead the mixture into a dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness and use the Messy Mutts Christmas Treat Mold to make cute shapes. Bake the treats for 20-30 minutes until golden brown. Once cooled, let your furry friend enjoy this delightful treat!
