Recipe Notes
- For crunchy treats, keep stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. These treats will last 4-6 weeks. Refrigerate for longer shelf-life.
- For soft treats, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These can also be frozen for up to 3 months. If your pooch doesn’t have teeth issues, there’s no reason you can’t give her a frozen treat.
- For a darker green, add another chlorophyll capsule.
- Blending turmeric with chlorophyll produces a bright Kelly green. Add more or reduce until you have the desired color.
