Please Note: This is a cat food only recipe and not for human consumption.

Ingredients
  

  • 350 grams tuna (canned in spring water)
  • 200 grams Tasty or Colby cheese
  • 230 grams white rice (cooked weight)
  • 120 grams zucchini
  • 20 grams spinach (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 4 capsules Wanderlust plant omega-3
  • 30 grams CompleteMe Renal

Instructions
 

  • Cook the white rice in water until cooked. Drain, set aside, allow to cool, then weigh out the required amount (230 grams).
  • Steam or microwave the chopped zucchini and spinach until soft, then mash together with the butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the tuna (drained weight), cheese (grated), rice, vegetables, and chia seeds and mix thoroughly.
  • Once all ingredients are cool, mix in the plant omega-3 capsules (contents) and CompleteMe Renal powder.
  • Be sure to mix together all the ingredients very well.

Serving

  • To serve after cooking, please allow the food to cool, then weigh out the required amount for your cat (following the Daily Feeding Guide instructions below) using a scale. Serve at room temperature.

Storage

  • For the remaining food, using the Daily Feeding Guide, portion it into daily serving sizes based on your cat’s weight, and place it in an airtight container with a label for the date on which it was prepared. This prepared food can either be stored in the refrigerator (4ºC) or freezer (-15ºC).

Refrigeration

  • We recommend that prepared food is stored in the fridge for a maximum of 3 days.

Freezing

  • Prepared meals (including all ingredients and the CompleteMe Renal supplement) can be frozen for up to 4 weeks. It is important that when you defrost the meals, you do not heat the food to a high temperature, but rather defrost it gently until just warm, in the fridge (e.g., overnight) or in a microwave or warm water bath. This is because heating up the food may destroy some of the vitamin content.
