The recipe is perfect for:
  • Pets who eat a lot of grass
  • Have chronic digestive upsets
  • Have an inflamed gut and immune system
  • Need a break from meat (fasting)
  • To feed once or even twice/ week (canine)
  • To prevent boredom

​This recipe is appropriate for kibble, raw and cooked fed pets. It is not a balanced recipe to be fed daily, however, it is packed with nutrition and gut loving ingredients, and even though it does not have any meat, it is very high in protein.
Recipes contains:

Quinoa; Is in the amaranth family, it is gluten-free and contains high amounts of protein as it contains all of the essential amino acids. Quinoa is also easy to digest and is hypo-allergenic. It is high in fiber (which acts as a prebiotic in the gut), B-vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus and manganese. Just like rice, always rinse your quinoa before cooking it, both for you and your pets.

Kefir: Specifically coconut milk kefir that we carry, as it is fermented coconut milk using kefir grains (probiotic), kefir is actually a symbiotic as it contains both pre and probiotics. It helps to soothe and balance the gut.

Sea vegetables: Including spirulina, chlorella, AFA (E3) Live algae, these are all super potent phytonutrients that help support whole body health. They are nutritive, healing and detoxifying all at the same time. Dosing will vary per pet by body weight. Ask us for our sea vegetable complex (yes we ship!).

Egg (optional): The perfect protein, so long as it is both free range and free run, and the chickens are fed their ‘species appropriate diet’, you can choose to either feed it raw or slightly poached. The free-range eggs from our chickens are more nutritionally dense than other farm eggs, as our chickens are both pasture raised and fed a non-GMO diet that is both corn and soy free. Eggs are also a natural source of PEA (Palmitolylethanolamide) an antioxidant and health molecule that works through the endocannabinoid system and is responsible for maintaining overall cellular health and homeostasis.

Click here to place your order on any of these products (must be local for egg-delivery).

  • Cook 1-2 cups of quinoa in water or organic low-sodium broth.
  • After quinoa is cooked and cooled, add kefir; 1-2 tsp for small dogs, 1 Tbsp for medium dogs and 2 Tbsp for large and giant breeds.
  • Mix in sea vegetables, ¼ tsp for small dogs, ½ tsp medium dogs and 1 tsp for large dogs.
 
 
Feed the normal amount you would normally feed your pet(s) of whatever diet they are on, if unsure of the amount then I would recommend a weight scale. The ingredients in this recipe are easy to digest (hence the name), meaning they are not as calorie dense as a normal diet, so it will be easier on the stomach. 

Please note this recipe is not to be fed daily, 7 times per week.
