DIY algee wafers ? Anyone tried

[tys91]

Hey guys ,
Ive been searching and cannot find anyone who has attempted a diy algee wafer
If anyone could maybe direct me into trying this il be more then happy to.
I was thinking of pees,cubumber and pretty much any green and vitamins necessary mixed up and dried/heated together and cut in cubes ?

What do you guys think ?


Cheers

Wouldn't that be a vegetable wafer then? lol. If I were to attempt this, I'd use peas, cucumbers, kael, and carrots. Blend it up good and put it on a tray. Then dehydrate and break into chunks. I prefer a jello kind of mix or a frozen mix when it comes to making your own stuff. It's easier IMO. Just add some plain jello mix and you got yourself some rapashy type stuff or freeze the mix as is without the jello.

IMO I wouldn't add extra vitamins unless they're sickly and need the help. Garlic would be good to add with the spirulina powder.

This guy started making his own, and made it into a little business. I've bought them, along with quite a few others here and on TPT. Good stuff!

Re: DIY algee wafers ? Anyone tried

Some people don't like their food breaking into a million particles. Easy fix by adding plain flavor jello.

I used to make algea food from the scrappings off the algea scrubber. I also mixed it in the scrimp mix.
