Lamb & Herb Meal Prep

Ingredients

  • 1 lbs Ground Lamb (16.00 oz or 453g)

  • ½ Cup Quinoa  (2.65 oz or 75g)

  • ¼ Cup Cucumber  (1.59 oz or 45g)

  • ¼ Cup Zucchini (1.59 oz or 45g)

  • 2 TBSP Apple (0.88 oz or 25g)

  • 2 TSP Kefir (0.35 oz or 10g)

  • ½ TSP Parsley (0.04 oz or 1g)

  • ½ TSP Fresh Mint (0.04 oz or 1g)

  • 1 ½ TBSP Dog Child Essential Nutrient Mix (0.53 oz or 15g)

Directions

  1. Cook the lamb: Add your lamb to a pan with a small splash of water. This prevents sticking and helps retain more nutrients as it cooks. Gently cook over medium heat until fully done.

  2. Cook the quinoa:  Rinse quinoa.  Bring 2 ½ cups of water to a simmer, add the quinoa, reduce the heat, cover, and cook until all the water has been absorbed about 15-20 mins. You want the quinoa to be cooked softly, even mushy. Remove from heat and let it steam for a couple of minutes.

  3. Prep your produce (kept raw for extra benefits): While the lamb and quinoa are cooking, chop your cucumber,  zucchini, apple, and herbs. We’re keeping the veggies raw here because raw produce can offer benefits like:

    • Higher fiber to support digestion and regularity

    • More intact vitamins (heat can reduce some antioxidants)

    • Extra hydration since raw veggies hold more water

    • Crunchy texture that many dogs enjoy

  4. Layer your meal prep: In your containers, layer the cooked quinoa, the cooked lamb, then the chopped raw vegetables, fruit, and herbs. Finish with a spoonful of kefir and the Dog Child Essential Nutrient Mix.

  5. Shake before serving: Before serving, give everything a good stir or shake to evenly distribute the nutrients and flavor.
