Fruit Smoothies for your Grey

[lovemyGreys]

Apart from just chopping & serving your grey fruit in a bowl i thought it would be nice to have a thread where we could share & exchange each others ideas on how to make fruit more appealing to them. My personal favorite is to make a fruit smoothie.

 

 

Take an assortment of your birds favorite fruit,i use ..

 

apple - peeled & seeds removed

banana

Kiwi fruit - peeled

Strawberries

Pear - peeled

1 cup of natural fruit juice i tend to use cranberry juice

 

Keep a 1/4 of the chopped fruit back.

Just add to your food blender and blend until you have a paste consistency.

Put the fruit you held back in their bowl & pour the smoothie juice over the top.

If you make too much you can freeze it ..

My four love it, it's quick & easy.so no excuse not to have a go

 

 

Here is an alternative..

 

A selection of your birds favorite fruit.

Keep back approx 1/4 of small fruit pieces.

Blend the reminder in the blender.

Tip the smoothie in to ice cube trays & drop the fruit pieces in.

Freeze until Frozen.

 

Now share your ideas please...

This is a great idea. Dont own a blender at the moment so will pop out and get one this weekend. I have just bought Charlie Healthy toppings sauces by Kaytee. Thought I would try these to make a change. Thanks for the recipes LMG, you should do one every week for us.

Does anyone know anything about buying frozen fruit? I haven't noticed it in the stores. :huh: Of course I guess you have to look first.

{Feel-good-00020069} Yes it might help to look!!!

 

I get it in the frozen foods next to the deserts and ice creams.

Yep thank you siobhan, you should find it in the freezer section of the supermarket.I often just have some in the freezer just in case i dont have enough fresh fruit in.you just need to let it thaw out before you use it.
