Guess what we're doing today!
We are finally making Banana Splits for dogs!
Let's get to it!
So yeah, today we really are making Banana Splits for dogs.
This is a pretty easy recipe and before we even get started,
I just want to remind you guys, this is a treat. This is not something you should be feeding your dog every day.
Moderation is key. If you don't feel comfortable feeding your dogs some of the ingredients here,
contact your vet, substitute the amount for something you are comfortable for.
Get creative and make your own!
So if you guys are new to this channel...
That is Memphis. This is Oakley. This is Shelby.
And my name is Jess.
One of the things we do on this channel from time to time, is make dog treats.
There will be links up in the cards and down in the video description below,
to a playlist of all the other treats we had done.
Let's get started and make some treats.
The first thing we are gonna need is a mini muffin pan.
And some mini muffin cups.
What we are gonna do, is line these with some little muffin cups.
You want to eat a muffin cup? Are they delicious?
They really won't be delicious!
Once we have that prepared, you are going to need a bowl, a spoon and some yogurt.
As you know, with people's banana splits, there are three (3) types of ice cream.
Vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. Dogs cannot have chocolate, but we'll get to that in a minute.
Basically what we are doing right now, is making our dog friendly ice cream for the dogs.
And we are using yogurt.
For the first flavor or dog friendly ice cream, we're just gonna using plain yogurt.
That will simulate our vanilla ice cream.
Basically, we're going through and fill these muffin cups about half way...
With yogurt.
Want to try some?
Oooo! Is yogurt! Mmmmm...
Want to try some?
Mmmm...
How about you Shelby?
We know, Shelby loves yogurt, cause is the dip that goes on everything.
Come here Shelby.
Want some?
Mmm... Delicious!
Alright!
Don't worry! This is dog yogurt only.
We have our cups filled with what would be our vanilla yogurt.
Now, we are going to take a bowl and we're gonna put some yogurt on it.
Probably about a cup's worth... I would say...
Now, we are going to create our strawberry ice cream.
We're going to do this, by taking some fresh cut up strawberries.
You can take some of these and smash them with a fork and it will help get the juice out of it.
Or, you can stir them real good, like smashing with your spoon as you stir them,
Cause that will give them the nice pink color that we are looking for.
So we're gonna drop a couple of strawberries in here.
Start stirring and smashing... Oakley, want some?
(laughter)
I'll be right back! I'll go and wash my hand!
You can see, it's already starting to turn pink.
Excuse me ma'am! Are you coming to steal the ingredients?
Memphis is like, "I really like strawberries! Can I?"
OK...
Would you like a strawberry? Oh my! OK, now everybody gets a strawberry.
Would you like a strawberry? Oh my!
Shelby... I know better...
Here... Oh! Watch me make a mess.
There you go. You guys got strawberry too.
Stirred it all up and smash some strawberries in it,
Like I said, if you really want, you can smash them with a fork first, that does tend to help,
You are going to get some nice pink looking dog ice cream.
And now, repeat the process. Take this and scoop it out.
Then, fill these about half way.
Now, the strawberry is ready.
Memphis?
Oh strawberry is good stuff!
Oh my!
How about you?
Oh my! Strawberry good stuff!
I know, Shelby will love this!
It's all your favorite things in one.
She has to sniff it first...
(laughter)
Now, is time for the next flavor. Chocolate! But, dogs can't have chocolate.
So, we are using our favorite! Caaaarob powder!
Carob Powder!
One more time... Carob Powder!
NOT CHOCOLATE! CAROB! NOT CHOCOLATE!
This is safe for dogs!
Also vegan too.
We are going to put some more yogurt in this dish.
Then, we're going to take the... Caaarob powder...
See? Looks like that! Smells like dirt...
Is not... but smells like dirt to me.
You guys like dirt? Apparently...
I'll put some Amazon affiliate links down below, for like, where you can get the carob powder, trays and other stuff I'm using.
I'm going to put a little bit of that in here.
We're going to stir it all up, probably a tablespoon.
Now, we got the carob yogurt.
Then, repeat the last step. We're going to take and fill these...
With carob yogurt...
You first?
Oh!
We're making a mess!
We're making a mess... You next?
You got it, on your nose.
Down on your nose!
How about you Shelby?
I'm not bending down there Diva! You gotta come up here!
Careful, we don't drip it out on Oakley's head.
Good stuff? (laughter)
Now, comes the super hard part...
Waiting...
We now need, to take this entire tray... And stick it in the freezer...
While we're waiting for those to freeze, you can probably prep all the rest of your ingredients.
You are going to need some more cut up strawberries, some cut up pineapples
and some smashed unsalted peanuts.
You don't need a lot. I made too many, but make sure they're unsalted.
Now, we're going to wait for that to freeze, but with camera magic will be back like that.
Once your ice cream is frozen...
Is time to prepare your bananas.
For those of you that are going to ask... Yes. Dogs can have bananas.
Again, as a treat. Not something you want to give them all the time.
I'm not going to do the whole banana. I'm actually going to cut these about in half.
I'll probably cut both ends of these, since... Very curved bananas...
You can prepare these in an actual banana split dish, or just in a little dish.
You can do these anyway you want. You can cut them up and make them look really cute.
Or you can try to make them look like an actual banana split, which is what we're going to try to do.
Would you like a piece of banana?
How did I know?
Shelby, would you like a piece of banana? Piece of banana?
That's what I thought...
How about you? Piece of banana?
Oakley's like, "Oh!"
Whoa... Did you see that?
Oakley? You don't want banana?
No? No nana's for Oakley either?
Will see, if we can fix this...
How about now?
Now you have a banana?
She spit it out...
How about now?
She spit it out too!
Well we'll see who eats these bananas!
We have cut our banana in half and now we're gonna go grab our ice cream.
Alright! We got our three (3) little doggy friendly ice creams that we made.
This is why we put them in the muffin tins.
We pull them right out of there.
Set them right up... Actually, white in the middle.
Set them right on, in here...
It starting to look like a banana split.
But, we can't be done just yet!
You have to decorate it up a little bit.
Now, we're going to pretty it up. We're gonna take a couple of pieces of pineapple.
Put them on top of the white ice cream.
We're gonna take a couple of pieces of strawberry and put them on the strawberry ice cream.
I'm not gonna put anything on the carob.
We're gonna take just a little bit of 'Ready Whip' and put it in the middle here.
Kind of separating the two... Oops!
How about you come back out there?
Like I said, just a little bit.
We're take just a little bit of these peanuts...
Sprinkle them on...
Again, these are just unsalted peanuts.
Put them on the top there...
This is entirely optional, you can take just a little bit of sprinkles if you want.
Sprinkle them on as well, just for some added color.
And then...
Since we can't put any, like, sauce on top of it, I'm taking just a little bit of the carob powder and sprinkling it on the banana.
Then, all over the entire thing.
Just to give that little bit of extra pretty look.
Again, this is just pretty much all just for looks.
We're almost done, but it would'nt be a complete banana split without...
One little cherry on top! (laughter)
There we have it. Now, I have to make two (2) more of these for the dogs.
That is our banana split for dogs!
It's so cute! It's so cute!
Now, they get to try them.
Alright!
There you go Memphis!
Oh! She's a little bit slower than I thought she was gonna be...
Oh! It's because she can't scarf it!
Oh scarf that banana!
Whew! It's so windy out here today!
This is the one we just made. It's got the dog ice cream we made, it got a little bit soft.
So it's a little bit easier for her to eat.
What you think? Is it delicious?
Oh! You found that piece?
Is that the best banana split you ever had?
Alright!
Let's let the other girls to try one.
I really thought, Memphis was going to scarf it down. I'm glad she didn't eat it as fast, as I thought she was going to.
Alright! Shelby next.
She did not want anything to do with the banana.
So let's see what she thinks.
Is it better when is all together?
She's like, "I don't know... There's banana on the side?"
"I don't know how I feel about that..."
Mmmm...
Oh! Oh! Oh... There she goes!
Now, you're not gonna eat it? I'll bet she doesn't eat the banana.
(laughter)
Shelby's like, "I would like this ice cream and this fruit..."
Shelby's like, "The whip creams..."
Shelby's like, "But, no thanks on the banana!"
Yeah? That's exactly what you're saying huh?
Oh! She's going for it?
Is she gonna eat the banana?
Maybe?
Oh! There goes the cherry!
Shelby's like, "Phew! Don't like cherries!"
(laughter)
I knew, you did not like cherries. I had a feeling, you're going to spit the thing out...
I only gave you a half of one.
Uh! That was good though? That was pretty good, huh?
Last, but not least... Miss Oakley!
Let's see if she'll eat the banana.
Oakley's like, "Phew! I don't want this cherry!"
Oakley's like, "I want the rest of this stuff!"
(laughter)
You are gonna do exactly what Shelby did?
Oh can't... She don't like the banana either?
Oakley's like, "I don't like the banana..."
Oakley's like, "but I will take this frozen stuff."
Don't worry about extra frozen stuff.
Frozen stuff is the best!
Frozen stuff number two (2)...
Oh! So good!
Are you gonna go for frozen stuff number three (3)?
You do like strawberries...
Oh! It's so good!
Will she eat the banana or the cherry?
Wow!
Oh! Oh! Nope! Nope!
Oh... Maybe... She ate the cherry.
Will she eat the banana?
Oakley says... "No thanks on the banana!"
Well, there we have it!
Now, we know what they think of DIY Banana Splits.
These two (2) are like, "Next time leave out the banana!"
Memphis is like, "Don't worry! I will eat everybody else's banana!"
Don't worry guys! I didn't really let her eat everybody else's banana.
Again, moderation is key.
They don't need a ton of banana.
Apparently, these two (2) didn't need any of it.
Or the cherry...
You ate the cherry. (laughter)
