Banana and Blueberry Balls for Dogs

Banana: Use a ripe banana to add natural sweetness and moisture to the treats. Bananas are rich in potassium and vitamins, making them a healthy choice for dogs. Blueberries: Fresh blueberries provide antioxidants and add a burst of flavor. If using frozen blueberries, make sure to thaw and drain them first. Rolled Oats: Oats help bind the ingredients together and add fiber. For a finer texture, you can pulse the oats in a blender before mixing. Storage: Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage. Adjustments: You can add a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber or substitute rolled oats with oat flour for a different texture.
