Directions

1. Look at the Feeding Guide below on our website and decide how much food you would like to make. We recommend making at least 7 days worth. While the recipe produces 780g of complete food, you can halve, quarter or even double the amount depending on the size and age of your dog, or how many dogs you have.

2. Cooked lentils weigh approx. 2.5 times their raw weight. For example if you would like 60g of cooked lentils use 24g raw. Soak the green lentils in warm water for at least 1 hour. Drain water and rinse in strainer until water runs clear. Add new water and boil till cooked. Empty into strainer, rinse until clear and cool. Shake well to remove any remaining water.

3. Coconut oil hardens or liquefies depending on room temperature. If it is in a solid state place the bottle into a sink with hot water until it liquefies. This causes no harm to the nutrients and you can do this as many times as necessary. There are many varieties of coconut oil but please only use raw coconut oil (virgin cold-pressed).

4. Bacteria is mainly found in dirt and affects the shelf life of food so it is important to cut the ends off vegetables. Leave the rest of the skin on. Vegetables should be weighed after they have their ends cut. Wash thoroughly in cold water.

5. Blanch the vegetables. Blanching is simply the process of dipping vegetables into boiling water (30 seconds will do) to kill remaining bacteria. This process will give the food up to 12 months of frozen life and up to 5 weeks of refrigerated life.

6. Dogs cannot digest whole vegetables very well. Blend the vegetables and lentils to a puree. If you cannot puree, they must be as finely blended as possible. A Vitamix is ideal and cold-pressed juicers are fantastic too (just add the pulp back into the juice).

7. Place the mix into a large tub and allow a few minutes to cool if necessary.

8. Mix in the liquefied coconut oil thoroughly (use food handling gloves). Do this quickly as it may begin to harden.

9. Shake Augustine’s SuperBoost® Original well and mix it in, blending thoroughly. Using your hands is most effective.

10. Augustine’s SuperFood Original has now been prepared.

11. Package into 70g, 140g, 280g or 560g bags according to your desired serving size (sealable plastic lunch bags are great) and freeze. Divide, bag and freeze the amount of meat required to complete the recipe according to your ASF portions.
