Yogurt and Fruit

Makes 4 servings

You'll be surprised to see how much your dog will love fruit and yogurt. This is a nice sweet
treat that contains protein, fiber, and antioxidants. I never freeze this dish; it will keep for
1 to 2 days in the refrigerator. It must be kept covered, or the bananas and apples will turn brown.

2 cups cooked rolled oats
1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
3 tablespoons plain wheat germ
1 teaspoon flaxseed
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup diced apple
1/2 cup chopped banana
1/4 cup dried apples
2 tablespoons olive oil

Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and serve!

Variation: Add 1 hard-cooked egg, peeled and chopped, for extra protein.

All About Blueberries

Blueberries are low in calories, low in fat, packed with vitamins and minerals, and contain bioflavonoids, which help reduce the likelihood of hemorrhaging. When selecting blueberries, make sure that they are plump, firm, uniform in size, and have a frosted blue color. Refrigerate your blueberries tightly covered. They will last in the coldest part of the fridge for up to 10 days, or in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Remove the stems and wash the blueberries on the day you actually use them.
