  2. ​Add bananas, applesauce, and dried chamomile to a blender.

  3. ​Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.

  4. ​Serve immediately as a topper or calming snack.

  5. ​For a longer-lasting reward, portion into small containers or silicone molds and freeze.

Nurse's Tip:

This is perfect for pups who are anxious at night. For dogs with "midnight energy," smear this on a Lick Mat to keep them busy and calm, allowing for better sleep.

Store:
