Dogs metabolize sugars differently. Even though a small amount of blackstrap molasses might have a few benefits, they are outweighed (by a lot, IMO) by feeding it to the dog every day. So I wouldn't put molasses in daily food.... not even blackstrap, even though it has some benefits not in other sugars.
"Blackstrap Molasses is not very sweet, a source of many trace minerals and not the same as Cane Molasses. It is harmless as a supplement in small amounts.
While any sweeteners should be avoided in food that a dog eats on a daily basis, small amounts of unrefined sugar, such as honey or molasses, are okay in dog treats."

Oh, thanks .... which book? I admit that I have not read the two good inexpensive ones in a while. I need to put a Postit on the page and remember to remind folks about it when I recommend those books.
It's not possible for the books to keep up with research unless they do new editions every year or two, but I do have bristling Postits. LOL

Gotcha. Pages 23, 31, and 49.
A tablespoon in several weeks' worth, I think from page 49? (Two pounds of produce and a tblsp of blackstrap)?
I still don't want to feed sugar daily, but OTOH, I would not be upset at having given this amount for a while. I just wouldn't continue.
But I'm a little obsessive .... I pretty much don't give borderline stuff (garlic, avocados, etc.) that are bad in large amounts but "probably OK in moderation."

What about the yogurt in there? I make my veggie glop and freeze it in an old butter bowl then thaw as needed. I give a tablespoon of glop and a tablesoon of yogurt. I wondered if I could mix the yogurt with the glop and then freeze so I only had one container to scoop from but I was worried I'd kill the good bugs.

I never thought that freezing would kill good bacteria.
According to what I read when we brought this up in the past, some strains do nothing worse than become dormant while frozen and some are more vulnerable to freezing. Stonyfield Farm had a comment on their site about some maybe dying but the numbers being insignificant. Other (not selling) sites said similar, with the possible exception of a couple of strains that might die in larger numbers. (Remember that the bad bacteria in, say, poultry, are not rendered powerless when we freeze the chicken.)
I'd probably go ahead, and just remember to give some unfrozen additions sometimes.
