Description

These Parsley & Mint Teeth Cleaner Treats are a natural, herbal remedy designed to help freshen breath and promote oral hygiene. Made with fresh parsley and mint, combined with coconut oil and a hint of lemon juice, they serve as an effective, homemade alternative to commercial breath fresheners. The addition of baking soda helps neutralize odors, while optional honey adds a touch of sweetness to make chewing enjoyable. Perfect for use after meals, these easy-to-make treats are a refreshing and health-conscious way to maintain fresh breath.

Ingredients

Scale

Herbs and Flavorings

  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional, for sweetness)

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients. In a food processor, add the chopped parsley, chopped mint, coconut oil, baking soda, honey (if using), and lemon juice to prepare for blending.
  2. Blend to Paste. Process the mixture until it forms a coarse paste, ensuring the herbs break down but still retain some texture.
  3. Shape Treats. Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into small bite-sized balls or flatten them into small discs for easier chewing.
  4. Chill to Firm Up. Place the shaped treats on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate them for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
  5. Store Properly. Once chilled, transfer the treats to an airtight container and keep them refrigerated to maintain freshness and texture.
  6. Use as Teeth Cleaner. After meals, chew one treat to help clean your teeth naturally and freshen your breath with the herbal and lemon oils.

Notes

  • Honey is optional and can be omitted for a less sweet version suitable for vegans.
  • Store treats in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, finely chop the herbs and mix well, though the texture may be less uniform.
  • Always chew thoroughly to benefit from the natural cleaning properties.
  • Do not swallow the entire treat; it is meant to be chewed and discarded.
