Quick Kashi Meal

Posted at 03:34 PM on August 10, 2009

Need a quick healthy meal for the birds? Try this one. It will feed all 17 of my birds a nice little meal.


What you need:


  • Kashi Pilaf in the 8.5 oz packet- This has 7 different grains in it Including:OATS, LONG GRAIN BROWN RICE, RYE, HARD RED WINTER WHEAT, TRITICALE, BUCKWHEAT, BARLEY, SESAME SEEDS
  • 4 oz. jar of organic baby food. I used sweet potato.
  • Herbs- I used 3 teaspoons from my friend Marilu Anderson the Avian Goddess.
  • Veggies if you have them. I try to keep organic, no salt added frozen veggies around. Peas and beans too!



In a glass bowl add the Kashi, 2 tablespoons of water and the baby food. Microwave for a minute and a half. Stir well. Add 3 teaspoons of herbs. Stir well and refrigerate.

After 30 minutes or so the liquid will be absorbed and the meal ready to serve.


I gave this to the kids cold and got a tails up from everyone. Everyone gets a heaping teaspoon. More for the bigger birds depending on what is left over the first time around.


Serve as your birds like it!

seems kind of elaborate for a treat, if you don't mind my saying. make a big pot of brown rice and freeze it in half-cup servings (i have 17 budgies and 2 eclectus to feed, so you might need a bit more). get one cube out and microwave with corn, peas, or shredded carrot or broccoli. Cheap, easy, fairly healthy, and popular. oh, and a lot easier to clean up than millet chaff (one of the banes of my existence).

once in a while i will scramble some egg-whites with grated broccoli, but you really do have to separate the eggs, which is a bother.

take care!

I do serve this as a meal.
Thanks for the ideas of other things to add to the recipe.
The Kashi is a dollar and change and mostly cooked already. Cheap and easy!
I like this meal because it did not cost more than $5. Most of the things I had on hand.
