Is my green fruit smoothie with almond milk safe for my dog?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 17 lbs

Every day I make a green fruit smoothie but sometimes I get leftovers and it only tastes good fresh. I could re-adjust the recipe, but is it safe for my dog to have a small amount so I don't waste all of it, plus to give her a little nutrition boost? There's 1 cup of frozen bananas, 1/4 cup of yogurt, 1 cup of Almond milk, 1 cup of baby spinach, 2 cucumber slices, and 1 tbsp of chia seeds. Is it okay to give my dog a small amount of this smoothie?

The almond milk could cause some intestinal distress but the other ingredients shouldn't be a problem. Honestly, I would not give a significant amount of anything (more than a few licks) on the basis that it could upset the nutritional balance of the rest of her diet.
