Do you have enough for 2 cups of papaya? If you use 2 cups of papaya and 1 cup of the bag with the pineapple mix in it, that's probably your best bet for ratios. Unfortunately, fruits like peaches and nectarines have backwards ratios. The only berry listed that isn't backwards is blackberries and there usually aren't enough of them in those bags to make a huge difference. If you're trying for smoothies, have you seen this from Luckyglider?
"The LGRS Suggie Soup is an economical, lower-fat, higher
calcium, higher protein recipe than similar recipes that
use expensive, imported HPW powder. This is the standard
recipe for all rescues and animals being rehabilitated at
Lucky Glider Rescue & Sanctuary. You can dilute the
finished product with water or apple juice and syringe feed
it to gliders who are suffering from metabolic bone disease
or hind leg paralysis. It is important to first take malnourished
gliders to the vet as they are often candidates for a subcutaneous
calcium injection. You should also consider
sharing this recipe with your vet.
[Depending on options, produces between 6 to 7 1/2 cups]
LGRS SUGGIE SOUP INGREDIENTS
2 - 3 cups of juices, mixed or single:
- Naked brand "Mighty Mango,"
- Papaya
- Orange
(the best is papaya because of the 4.8:1 CA:PH ratio as it
makes up for the "upside down" nature of other fruits
and veggies. You can also use calcium fortified orange juice)
1-1/2 cup honey, FILTERED, warmed slightly so it will easily and
quickly mix in with other ingredients. Do not use comb honey,
non-filtered, or "raw" honey.
3 eggs completely cooked: hard boiled or scrambled eggs.
Do not use fats or oils to scramble. If you add another tablespoon
of the dehydrated fly pupae, you can eliminate the eggs altogether.
1/4 cup High Protein Powder
(The Passwell/Womberoo "HPW" powder is OK but it is
8x as expensive as what you can get on line or at
Trader Joe's. Trader Darwin's Vanilla Flavored Soy Powder
is a fine substitute. Second choice would be "Designer Whey."
LGRS has conducted a side-by-side nutritional analysis of
the HPW versus Trader Darwin's Vanilla Flavored Soy.
Both contain similar trace minerals and less common vitamins.
both are suitable in the quantities idenified here.
2 tablespoons bee pollen granules or powdered (not capsules)
(You can get this on line at www.bulkfoods.com). The protein
content of pollen varies depending on the source plant, but
is generally in the range of 30 to 40 percent. The mineral
ash content also varies.
3 tablespoons Fly pupae (dehydrated and powdered option).
You can get this on line at www.oregonfeederinsects.com.
This is the pupae/cocoon stage of the common housefly.
Oregon feeder insects offers these in dry, powdered form.
Fly pupae is an excellent source of protein but it is very
low in fat, making it a suitable substitute for eggs and other
high-fat, high cholesteral protein sources. It smells like
fertilizer and once blended in it looks like pepper.
Do not skimp on the pollen and fly pupae.
They are very important parts of the diet.
1 large container (16 oz) of yogurt
(Low fat, fruits added OK).
LGRS Suggie Soup OPTIONS
**********************************
The general consistency of the "soup" is like a thin smoothie.
If your soup comes out too watery, you can thicken it
with Acacia Gum powder - just a few pinches will do.
You can also sneak in foods that are
good for them but that they don't eat on their own.
For example, you can blend in a cup of cooked
kale, berries, watermelon, etc. and try a different
blend each time you make up the soup for variety.
You can make two or three batches at the same time
and the color of the soup will changed depending on the
options. Once frozen, you can easily change-up the
"soup of the day" for the suggies to give them variety.
Of the three parts of the diet, the soup is essential.
The honey is the taste that attracts them to the soup,
so don't skimp on the honey. Make sure it's filtered honey.
DIRECTIONS for Mixing LGRS Suggie Soup
***************************************************
1. Cook 3 eggs, set aside to cool slightly
2. Blend bee pollen and dehydrated fly pupae together so it
is one fine powder and set aside
3. Place juice and warmed honey in blender and mix well
4. Add protein powder and yogurt all at once to the juice and honey
mixture. Blend till smooth [depending on the size of your blender
you may need to blend the rest in stages]
5. Add eggs and pollen/pupae mix into the liquid ingredients.
Blend until smooth
6. Add optional fruits and veggies
7. Pour into small freezer-safe containers for freezing
use containers that you can put in the fridge with enough
to last three days. If you have two gliders who will only
eat two tablespoons per serving, those containers can be
pretty small. Some people freeze the soup in ice cube trays
and pop the frozen cubes into freezer bags.
****** important note ********
This is just the soup part of the diet. Be sure to feed several tablespoons of balanced fruits and veggies on the side. You can also feed a plop of cottage cheeze, baked chickena or lean, drained, cooked hamburger on the side. See the nutrition tables here on this site for Ca:Ph ratios. You are shooting for 2:1 ratio. Keep in mind that most dark grean leafy veggies are high in oxalate and therefore cancel out the Ca for that particular food (oxalytic acid binds to the calcium in the digestive tract so it cannot be absorbed)."

I was going to make smoothies and freeze them. 
So I was looking for some help.
