Ingredients
Scale
Herbs
- 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
Other Ingredients
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a food processor, add the chopped parsley, mint leaves, coconut oil, baking soda, honey (if using), and lemon juice. This combination forms the flavorful and cleansing base for the treats.
- Blend mixture: Blend the mixture until it forms a coarse paste. The texture should be moist but firm enough to shape.
- Shape treats: Using your hands or a small spoon, shape the paste into small bite-sized balls or flatten them into small discs for easy chewing.
- Refrigerate: Place the shaped treats on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate them for at least 1 hour to firm up and maintain their shape.
- Store: Once firm, store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
- Use: Chew a treat after meals as a natural teeth cleaner and breath freshener to help remove food particles and freshen breath naturally.
Notes
- Honey is optional and can be omitted for a vegan or less sweet version.
- Keep the treats refrigerated as they contain fresh herbs and coconut oil which can soften at room temperature.
- Use the treats within one week for best freshness.
- The baking soda helps with natural teeth cleaning, but avoid swallowing large amounts.
- Consult your dentist before regularly using natural teeth cleaning remedies.
