Hypoallergenic Meat-Based Formula
INGREDIENTS
- 3 3/4 cups homemade beef or chicken broth
- 2 ounces organic grass-fed beef or chicken liver into small pieces
5 tablespoons lactose
1/4 teaspoons bifidobacterium infantis (a probiotic)
1/4 cup organic homemade liquid whey (if your child has intolerance to whey, you may leave it out)
1 teaspoon high quality coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon high-quality cod liver oil. You could substitute the cod liver oil with krill oil instead
1/4 teaspoon acerola powder
2 teaspoons organic grass-fed ghee
METHOD
- Chop 2 ounces of organic grass fed beef or chicken liver into small pieces
Gently simmer the liver pieces in 3 3/4 cups homemade chicken or beef broth, until thoroughly cooked
Pour the liver broth into a clean glass blender. Blend for several seconds to liquefy the liver, then let cool. Once the liver broth has cooled, add the remaining ingredients.
- Blend for a few seconds on low speed, until well-mixed. Pour the blended ingredients into glass jars or glass baby bottles and refrigerate
Before feeding, warm the formula by placing the glass bottle in a pot of hot water. A baby bottle warmer can also be used. Never microwave infant formula, as this will destroy many valuable nutrients and enzymes and pose a burn risk
