Hey guys,

When I adopted Nimbus the rescue gave me the Exotic Nutrition Instant HPW. I decided to switch him over to a homemade diet and tried making my first batch of TPG last night. However, I made a silly mistake and am worried I messed it up. I totally forgot that I would be putting applesauce in at a later step and made apple one of my four fruits! Do you think this batch now doesn't have enough variance or is just too apple-y?

For reference, here's what I put in. I cut the recipe in half as I currently only have one glider.

1 cup of fruit: raspberries, banana, orange, apple (1/4 cup each)
1 cup of veggies: kale, baby spinach, sweet potato, baby carrot, a little squash
16 ounces of unsweetened Mott's applesauce
4 ounces of Dannon plain yogurt
3 tablespoons of calcium fortified oj concentrate
3-4 ounces of cooked, skinless chicken breast tenderloin
3 tablespoons of plain uncooked oatmeal

You can use it, the variance is good enough providing you change fruits and veggies at each different batch (I used to do 2 different batches at once in order to alternate between days).
On a side note, it is important to remember that TPG diet is designed to work only with TPG vitamin supplement and should not be used for a long time without those.

Thanks for the response! I have the TPG vitamins on the way and will not be switching from the Instant HPW until they get here :)
