Feeding Eclectus - layered chop

[sodakat]

This keeps in the refrigerator for about 4 days. I use a recycled lettuce container to store this but there is no lettuce in this chop.

The first picture is the finished chop mixed with cooked brown rice, hemp seeds and milk thistle seeds.

The first two layers are in next post.

This looks great. Nice and fresh too! So I am taking it that you are layering everything as you go-do you give it a shake before feeding? Are you going to share the recipe? I love to learn new recipes and shake up my routine. It's easy for me to get stuck in a rut and I'd love to give this a try!

I layer it when I mix it up to last a few days. The frozen corn and peas on top help keep it cooler and IMO fresher in the frig. If I chop daily I don't bother to layer.

Layers:
1. greens
2. celery
3. carrots
4. jalepeno/serrano peppers
5. sprouted lentils and chick peas (garbanzo beans)
6. green apple
7. kiwi and orange (or grapefruit or lemon or tangerine)
8. lightly cooked winter squash, shredded then frozen (or pumpkin or sweet potato)
9. frozen peas
10. frozen corn
11. grapes or cranberries or blueberries or blackberries or raspberries

I scoop out about 1/2 to 3/4 cup for adults and 1 cup for youngsters. If I am not feeding seeds in the afternoon, they get another small serving of fresh foods.

When I cook Volkmans Soak & Simmer I add the frozen peas/corn/squash to the big pot of cooked mixture, stir well, then freeze all of this in 1 cup portions. To that I add the fresh chop daily.

Sometimes I cook brown rice and 15 bean soup and mix those together then add frozen vegs and freeze.

I prefer to always serve the following fresh, not frozen:

celery, peppers, carrots and all fruits except berries.
