Sweet Potato Bites

These tasty treats take no time to prepare and will keep in the fridge for up to seven days.

Sweet potato is a member of the bindweed family and provides a good source of fibre and the antioxidant Beta-carotene.  

Ingredients:

1 cup cooked, drained & mashed sweet potato.

Half a cup of coconut flour plus a little extra for dusting.

1 level teaspoon of melted coconut oil

Half a teaspoon of Greens, Seeds & Superfoods, or finely chopped parsley (fresh or dried)

Half a teaspoon of nutter butter (Pip & Nut do a great range which are palm oil & xylitol free)

Half a teaspoon of chia seeds

How to make:

Place all the ingredients into a bowl, and thoroughly stir until they are combined.

With a spoon, scoop out an amount that is a suitable size for your dog. If you make larger ones, they can easily be broken up after chilling.

Roll the mixture in the palm of your hand until it forms a ball, use a light dusting of flour if necessary.

Place in the fridge to set for 1 hour before serving.

Keep in the fridge and use within 7 days. They also freeze well and are best used within 4 months.
