I want to run this recipe past you! (Butternut Squash and Blueberry Boost)

[Elawin]

Very basic at the moment, no notes, no pics, no nothing except ingredients. But what do you think?

• 200g goat or sheep’s yoghurt
• 500g butternut squash, boiled
• 10g blueberries, raw

• ¼ teaspoon ground eggshell

METHOD:
Chop ingredients.

Why the eggshell?

Why the eggshell?

Calcium

I'm afraid it sounds horrible. Fit for the dog, perhaps?

 

[Cinisajoy]

Well I wouldn't think that tiny amount of eggshell would give much calcium.

He loves it He's had yoghurt stuffed pancakes with blueberries for breakfast twice this week already
P.S. Those quantities are supposed to be enough for a 14 kg dog for a week, or for one gannet ... I mean, greyhound, for about 10 seconds

I'm not sure what I think about this because when I read the title of the recipe I thought it was going to be a smoothie. But its not!

personally I wouldn't have thought that 10g of blueberries was worth it with 500g of squash. I think you would probably count the blueberries out with 10g!

it sounds more like it is a squash and hard boiled egg salad held together with yoghurt.

It's dog food. Actually I thought it looked rather good. Perhaps next time I should do a bit of experimenting, although there's nothing in there that a human couldn't eat

I twigged it. And the image in the featured post is from 'Lady' magazine for the same recipe.

Its in your thread which I featured. But the featured threads cycle through (top of the page) so you won't necessarily see yours. I'll look up the link.

I got the recipes from Forthglade (who advertise on that page). They had a pdf with several more recipes on than are on that page. Tippy has part of some of their complete meals mixed in with his kibble in the evenings. He still shares my breakfast on several occasions, otherwise has Weetabix, and has his treats during the day. Teatime he has raw. Since I changed his food, he is looking a lot healthier, although I have to weigh all his food at the moment to make sure he gets the right amount (35 g raw or fresh = 25 g kibble.)

Dog food or not (which I had read) it's a very misleading title!
