Lukah's new chop mix!

kellie · Sep 16, 2013

Got inspired today and made Lukah a new chop mix.

It has (all fresh) broccoli, carrots, cantaloupe, apples, strawberries & jalepeno

I also made little fridge baggies of pre-cut apples, carrots and cantaloupe so I can throw them in fresh each day with the rest of his chop.

He just had cantaloupe for the first time and loved it! He's chowing down right now

Here's a picture of the chop!

If anyone has any more chop recipes they would like to share I'd love to hear them!

Looks Delicious Kellie!!!

I just made a new mix for Kiwi too! I put in swiss chard, zucchini, yellow squash, red chilli pepper and grapes. She seems to like it!! Going to try cantaloupe next!!

That sounds great! I bet Lu would love that. He hasn't tried red chilli peppers yet... I still can't believe it when he chows down on jalepeno like its no big deal!

I can't wait to give Lukah his new mix tomorrow

That looks awesome! I haven't given my bird any vegetables yet but he likes every fruit I have given him so far. Hopefully he will like all the vegetables I give him to.

Might try your recipe

Go for it! Lukah hated carrots and broccoli before I started doing chop mixes... Now he loves them! The secret is putting in a ton of vegetables and then putting in a fruit they really like to try and cover the taste a little bit but not all the way. So Lukah loves apples, so I put a whole apple in, so that everything tastes a little bit like apples. He took a couple days to adjust to the first mix I gave him (apples, jalepeno, raspberries, broccoli, carrots and kale) but after that he was hooked!

I try to get lots of good veggies in and then a few fruits- usually a type of berry or a melon and apple

The more veggies, beans, grains you can include in the mix, the better.

Definitely! Lukah has another mix of garbanzo beans, lentils and quinoa pasta he gets every other day

Lukah's new chop mix!
