Hi all! I made a BIG batch of chop today for my little green cheek. Definitely going to be freezing the majority of this, and I don't think she'll even come close to eating it all in the 3 months it will keep 
Oh well, I don't mind.
Lots of variety!
Here is the recipe if you would like a rough idea of how much of everything I put in it.
Ingredients:
Green veggies (smelled SO good because of the jalapenos).
Mixing, adding pellet powder, freezing.

Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup total uncooked grains (quinoa/brown rice pasta, TJ's Harvest Grains blend which has Israeli cous cous, semolina orzo, garbanzo beans, and red quinoa)
- Handful of herb salad mix (contains Swiss chard, baby spinach, purple lettuce, other greens)
- Pinch of green cabbage
- 2 large pieces of broccoli
- 2 pieces of cauliflower
- 6 green beans
- 5 slices of jalapeno, with seeds
- Palm sized slice of red bell pepper, with seeds
- 3 baby carrots
- 3 1-inch cubes of butternut squash
- 5 raspberries
- 6 blueberries
- 2 tsp golden flax seed, soaked
- Half-inch piece of ginger root
- 1 stem fresh cilantro
- 1/4 tsp each of dried herbs (oregano, dill, red chili pepper)
- Leftover pellet powder (Caitec/All Living Things Oven Baked Bites)
- Prep grains. Add the 1/4 cup uncooked to boiling water, cook until soft but not fully done. Lay on towel to dry, place in fridge to cool.
- Chop veggies and fruits. I used a food processor and did it in groups. First, I did the green vegetables, then I did the orange and red vegetables, and last I did the leafy greens and fruits. All of my veggies were left raw.
- Mix in herbs, soaked flax, and cooled grains to the fruits and veggies. Stir well.
- Add leftover pellet powder until mix is fairly dry and ready to freeze.
- Happy birdie!
