Hello, I'm new to the forum. I just wanted to share a quick recipe that my RES (Lily) LOVES!
I just puree some leafy greens, sweet potato for texture, maybe a few berries, a banana, and some carrots.

I used:
About a handful of kale, romaine lettuce, and collard greens.
5 baby carrots, diced.
10 blueberries.
1 small banana.
About 1/2 a sweet potato, boiled.

Then, I just throw it all in a blender. After that, I pour the mixture in ice cube trays and freeze overnight. I let it thaw a little before feeding it to Lily, but not enough for it to melt. I usually feed her about a cube and fresh veggies on the nights she doesn't eat pellets.

A hope you found this helpful!! :D :D :mrgreen:

Welcomw. That sounds similar to the jello shots. Have you seen that yet? It holds the cubes together well in the water.

I just saw it! Thanks, they would probably work better with the gelatin :)
