Your Kitty Will Crave This Easy Ice Cream for Cats [Recipe]

For Cat People

  • Not a substitute for professional veterinary help.

Who said that ice cream was just for humans—or unhealthy? This cat-friendly “ice cream” will help any feline beat the heat or feel spoiled any day. Goat yogurt, blueberries, and banana easily come together for a cool, summertime treat for cats. Plus, make this cat ice cream extra special with your kitty’s favorite toppings. We chose a freeze-dried minnow and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for our special toppings.

Have a craving for something cold and fruity? Grab a spoon and try a taste. We won’t judge you—but we can’t guarantee your cat won’t!

What Fruits Can My Cat Eat?

Looking for variations to this blueberry banana ice cream for cats? Fruits aren’t a natural component of your cat’s obligate carnivore diet. But a treat in the form of cat-friendly fruits is okay now and again—and some even pack a punch in nutrients.

Cat-safe fruits include:

  • Blueberries
  • Bananas
  • Apples (without seeds)
  • Strawberries
  • Watermelon

Stay clear of all citrus, grapes, raisins, and currents. Additionally, too much sugar too often (even naturally occurring) can be unhealthy for cats. If your cat is begging for ice cream often, try a veggie-forward alternative.

These veggies are not toxic to cats, according to the ASPCA:

  • Celery (they love the crunch!)
  • Carrots
  • Pumpkin (Pumpkin is used often as a way to get fiber in your cat’s diet)
  • Broccoli
  • Green beans
  • Cauliflower
