Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Brown rice cooked
  • 2 cups Quinoa cooked
  • 1 can Chickpeas, lentils or black beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups Greens (spinach, beet greens, radish greens, etc.) chopped
  • 1/2 cup Nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted natural nut butter
  • 1 can Pumpkin
  • 1/4 cup Flax seed
  • 1/2 cup Green peas
  • 1 cup Corn
  • 1 cup Squash cooked
  • 1 cup Edamame
  • 1 cup Dried cranberries or "craisins"
  • 1 cup Apple sauce unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup Roasted nuts your choice but not macadamia
  • Bag of frozen, healthy leftover bits whatever you might have

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a large pot and heat slowly. Cook until the mixture becomes a tasty stew and veggies have cooked down.
  • Let cool, then freeze in 3-4 cup servings for variety. Every time you make this it will probably be a little different, depending on what leftovers are in your freezer. (Dogs get bored eating the same thing, too!)
  • I put a cup or so on her 4 cups of vegan crunchies. (She turned out to be a large and beautiful being!) That way I know she is getting all the basics in the way of vitamin/mineral additives from the certified kibble and enjoying the benefits of a variety of healthy vegan "toppings".

Notes

Always make sure to change your dog's diet gradually, mixing old food with a new variety until you can serve 100% of the new food.
