 flighters and hatchlings. My name is Marlene McCohen and I'm Tracy from Results with Tracy. And welcome to Parrot Chop Chef. And by the way, for those of you new here, this is Brando. This is Leo. Here's how this show works. Yes, we are creating healthy food for your birds, also known as chop. Chop is a bunch of chopped up ingredients, primarily greens and then vegetables, then some fruit, about 20% fruit at most. And then you add your herbs and you have chopped for your parrot. But for those of you who are like, wow, I got to make chop every day. And I also got to make my meal or my family's meal. We're showing you how to turn your parrot chop into a healthy meal for yourself as well. So stay tuned to the end to find out what we do with this amazing chop. We've done a lot of really cool things. So go back and watch some previous episodes. So don't think this is a cooking show just for the parrots, although our primary goal is for your birds to eat healthy. We also want to get you eating healthy too. And that's where Tracy comes in. Brando's eating my mole. And we're going to try to get Brando to eat a chop instead of moles. Moly moly mole. Oh my God, I know. Today, in our strawberry spinach salad, we have strawberries and raspberries. This is actually more than just spinach. This is spinach, arugula, and kale. Okay. Oh, sorry. No, no, no. I don't see the kale. I think we ate it last night and that's why there's no kale. And bok choy. No, bok choy. Why didn't you tell me? Kiwi. Kiwi. There's two kiwis to be exact. Almonds with basil and mint and celery. Okay. This is, I'm excited about the raspberry. Okay. But, um, okay, I'm a picky eater. So like mixing stuff is a little weird for me, but I'm excited to see. Oh, I'm excited to see what we're going to turn it into at the end. That's my favorite part. Yeah. This is one of those meals that will have some fruit in it for your birds, but most of the other ones were strong in the veggies. This looks like it's strong in the dark greens, which I love. The leafy greens are great for your parrots. Chop the spinach. Bye. Chop the spinach so fast. We lost all the birds. Now we have celery news here. I'm going to chop them into little pieces and I'm chopping them into finer pieces. Celery is really great for birds. Just chopping it all over the place. It's for the one that's going to probably wander over. That's going to be Merlin. At least he has something when he tries to get in the snack closet. He won't eat any snacks. He'll be right for the celery. Put that in. Oh yes. What are these? Almonds, basil, mint. For those of you just joining in, the counter is messy because we have removed everything from this side of the premises to, you know, make a set. So ignore, but enjoy Merlin flying in. Here are the almonds and basil and mint. I think when you add these herbs that you're choosing to add like the basil and the mint, I think that's what's giving it that like super healthy taste. Yeah. Yeah. It's really fresh. It's got like a very fresh vibe. I feel like I'm in Costa Rica, you know? Yeah. So the mint is always nice with fruit and mint together. Just like you have two kiwis. Two kiwis. Now strawberries are one of those things that you have to wash really well. Did you wash it really well? Yes. I washed them individually and then I put them all together and washed them together in the strainer. Oh, that's fantastic. Yeah. I knew you would say something like that. I think I should help you chop this. No, please, please. As you are in your nails, they blend into the strawberries. What do you think? I'm going to chop off my nail? You have to protect your fingers. Oh, that's too much. My hand touching like that silver part, it kind of hurts. Thank you. The birds are going to love it. Is that it? This is it? It's done? This is our spinach strawberry salad. Yeah. We're going to turn it into Tracy, because I'm dying to know. A smoothie. Dumb. Yeah. I mean, you could turn it into a smoothie also with almond milk, coconut milk, water. Oh, really? Absolutely. What about orange juice? No. Okay. We're going to do it with what we have here, which is oat milk. Okay. So this is still a plant-based vegan option for us. Yeah. Should we get George to operate the blender? George. Yeah. We needed to operate the blender and hopefully you're not wearing a savant shirt or whatever. Oh, wow. Sporting our merch, George. Okay, George. So we need the blender because this is George has went to a garage sale one day and came home with a commercial grade blender. All right. We do need a commercial grade blender for a commercial grade type of show. Oh, wow. Can I have some? You mean before we blender it? Yes. It looks like it's a fruit. It is. It's a great fruit salad, George, but you missed your opportunity, of course. You didn't actually give me the opportunity. I know. They're on a cooking show. It's so much nice. We're on a cooking show. Can I have a taste of it? At least. Yeah. That's Merlin's. Merlin's going to come over. This looks amazing. It is. I don't want to cover the ingredients with the milk. You can always add more, but you can't take away. Okay. So I filled up to three-fourths of the, like, where the ingredients are and then we'll blend it. You can always add ice too. Ice will add a little more volume to it, but yeah, they don't have ice. Just get to blending. Okay. Cheers. We don't know. You have to find out. Don't react. Don't want to react. Okay. Cheers. Cheers. Oh, it's so good. It's like healthy and good at the same time. Wow. Like you can taste the healthy, you know, the kind where people are like, greens, and then you're like, ooh, sweet. That's good. Do you like it? It's like moving closer. It is good. I like it as a salad more. Yeah. So you're, you're, I think I like it as a smoothie more. Really? Yeah. Everybody has their thing, but I think the salad for me, it like feels it like a, you're hungry. That's fine. Yeah. It feels more like a, like a meal rather than a smoothie. But this is amazing too. But definitely the birds can have this too. All right guys. So you heard from our biggest critic, George, down that. So I know that this is good and I'm really pleased. We have finished it. If you have something you'd like us to make, something that's your favorite food, let us know in the comments and we'll do our best to accommodate you. Yeah.
