1 Tablespoon each of Mung, Adzuki, and Lentils
2 Tablespoon each of Rye Berries and Quinoa
1 Tablespoon each of Couscous and Amaranth
That makes 3 Tablespoons of sprouted legumes, 4 Tablespoons of sprouted grains, and 2 Tablespoons of cooked grains. For the mash, the legumes where sent through a food processor so Benu doesn't pick around them.Then came the vegetables in 2 parts. The dark leafy greens and other vegetables. For dark leafy greens I added: Collard Greens, Kale, Mustard Greens, Chard, and Dandelion Greens. For the other vegetables I added: Carrot, Peas, Corn, Sweet Potato, Acorn Squash, Butternut Squash, Tomato, Red Pepper, and Broccoli.
The vegetables were also sent through the food processor and froze them (dark leafy greens were frozen flat in a zip lock bag and the other vegetables where first frozen in the ice cube tray before being put in zip lock bags).When I thawed my birds food, I took out 2 cubes of legume/grain mash, 1 cube of vegetables, and some leafy greens. To serve, I line the bottom of his bowl with those before putting a generous portion of the mash and any fruit toppers. (I don't really give fruits often.)
