- Category: Think Pink!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup oat flour (pulverize rolled oats in the food processor to make your own)
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
- 1/3 cup strawberries (about 4 large)

Instructions
This dog treat recipe couldn’t be simpler!
Combine all ingredients in the bowl of your food processor and pulse until combined.
Form balls by the handful, or make whatever size works the best for your dog.
Squeeze tightly!
Chill before serving for best consistency.
Feeling fancy? You can roll these in more unsweetened coconut flakes for a fluffy effect.
If you’re feeding coconut oil to your dog directly, introduce it gradually, starting with very small amounts (just a dab or 1/4 teaspoon for small dogs) so your dog’s system can adjust.
