Want to fuel your dog in the best way possible? These tasty, calorie-packed energy bars are ridiculously easy to make with just two ingredients. Perfect for competitions, long walks, or endurance training days.
Ingredients
-
300 g melted coconut oil (smooth and delicious healthy fat)
-
3 scoops Better Hydration powder (your secret weapon for hydration + energy!)
-
Chocolate bar moulds (fun paw, bone, or star shapes work great)
Instructions
-
Melt: Place coconut oil in a jar and set the jar in a bowl of warm water until fully melted.
-
Mix & Stir: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil with Better Hydration powder. Stir continuously as the mixture cools and starts to thicken.
-
Pour & Set: Carefully pour into moulds. Chill in the fridge for 3+ hours (or freeze to speed up).
-
Ready to Roll: Pop out of moulds and store in the fridge. (They melt fast, so keep them cool—especially at competitions!)
