OK, so I stumbled upon this recipe intended as a homemade version of the popular Frosty Paws (ice cream treat for dogs)...

After seeing the ingredients...I thought...HELL with the dog...I'm making this for ME!!!!

Here is the recipe:

Homemade Frosty Paws for Dogs

1 quart vanilla yogurt (lowfat for our chubby friends)
1 medium banana
2 T peanut butter (natural style is good)
2 T honey

Puree the banana in a food processor (a blender would probably work fine). Add the peanut butter and honey and continue processing until smooth. Add yogurt and process just long enough to blend all ingredients together. Place 18 small paper cups (bathroom size) in a baking pan (one 9x13 or two 8x8 work well). Fill paper cups to about 2/3's full. An ice cream scoop or a measuring cup makes the job easier. Freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen treats to zip-lock bags for storing in the freezer.

Now....after entering it into the data base...it came out to 49 calories each based on 18 servings...

I changed it based on 8 servings to make it a more heftier portion and it's 111 calories!!!!

    I don't know...that recipe looks like it might taste good. I've tried the original Frosty Paws (hey...I was curious!). Let's just say it wasn't exactly appetizing. The dog loved it, but me...not so much.

    This does sound interesting - and I bet since I'm eating it I could put any fruit I wanted in it - though I'm not sure how mango peanut butter would taste. :tongue:

    I actually saw this recipe on a dog site also. I was thinking of making some for my puppy and maybe eating some myself. Looks good.
