Let’s face it – humans love their smoothies! In addition to humans, we have a feeling that after trying the following recipe, you’ll find that your dog loves smoothies too.
Carrot and Berry Smoothie
This carrot and berry canine smoothie recipe is flexible. You can pretty much guesstimate how much of the ingredients you want to place in your blender. Just like NuVet supplements, this recipe is chock full of great stuff for your canine companion!
If you are aware of any sensitivities your dog may have then avoid that ingredient or substitute it for something else that you know your dog likes. For example, you could pick blueberries instead of strawberries or cucumber instead of carrot.
This recipe was selected because it contains ingredients that are nutritious, dog friendly and tasty. For example, yogurt is rich in calcium. Honey aids in digestion and is great for boosting energy. Bananas are high in potassium and other nutrients, while strawberries contain, fiber, vitamins C, K, B6 and B1.
Carrots on the other hand are high in a myriad of vitamins, aid in digestion, promote a healthy coat and are even good for your dog’s breath. Just like with NuVet Plus, you can be sure that your pup is receiving great nutrition with this fruity treat.
What You Will Need:
- Blender
- Banana
- Strawberries
