9.3: Mussels Power Up Tea

Updated: Dec 26, 2023

šŸ¾ Green lipped mussels

  • Green lipped mussels are packed with chondroitin and are rich in fatty acids.

  • In fact, there are 90 different fatty acids in green lipped mussels! But the most abundant are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).

  • These are two important fatty acids that are known to reduce inflammation.

  • Due to this, they make a great replacement for NSAIDS that are usually prescribed by vets for joint or muscle pain. NSAIDS are well known to cause a host of other issues though in the body especially when taken long term.


Ingredients

  • 1 bag of high quality, green lipped mussels

  • 1 litre of cooled chamomile tea

  • Handful of chopped mint leaves

  • 4 teaspoons Kelp Seaweed powder

  • 4 handfuls mixed frozen berries

Directions:

  • 1st of all, ensure the mussels have been cooked and de-shelled, or come cooked & frozen frozen in line with our fresh produce guidance

  • Make 1 litre of chamomile tea using 2 teabags and let the bags stew for a few minutes.

  • Remove the bags and let the tea cool fully before using.

  • Defrost the mussels and shell them if they have not already been shelled for you.

  • Add mixed frozen berries, mint & kelp seaweed.

  • Blend carefully to ensure no spitting and beware it may smell bad to you if like me you donā€™t like fishy smells and sniff it! Just think of the goodness though!

  • When fully blended, pour into silicone moulds and freeze - feed 1 portion every couple of days. There is no hard and fast rule on it but a small mould should be used as this is an absolute powerhouse tea

  • Once fully frozen you can store in bags or tubs in the freezer for portion control ease.


āš ļø Give 1 portion roughly every 3 days if your dog has no current issues as a supportive addition
