Weeds’ favorite treat

Posted in Weedy's World at 5:40 pm by Nancy Hayes, DVM

Does your pet have a favorite snack? I hate to admit it but my dogs love candy (red licorice and starburst, and jelly beans to be exact). I have found a healthier alternative tough that is still sweet, but high in fiber and low in calories- sweet potato bits. I’ve tested these out (yes really) and they are pretty good. Weeds thinks they are fantastic and now I give that sweet treat without so much guilt.

Here’s how to make them:

Take a good sized sweet potato (yam) and cube it up into small cubes (about ½ inch pieces). Spread them out on a cookie sheet and bake at around 300 degrees until they are dried (about 45 minutes to an hour). Now they are done. Simple!

I do suggest keeping them refrigerated as there are no preservatives in these. But this makes a lot to share. Low in calorie and high in flavor.

Weeds says, “Go for it!”
