1 Egg hard-boiled.  Do not use the shell.

For the next 2 ingredients alternate them, a little cereal with a little juice, a little cereal with a little juice, going back and forth until both ingredients are mixed in.

1/4 cup of Apple Juice, just the regular apple juice that you and I would drink.  Do not use frozen or baby juice, just regular bottled apple juice.   You may substitute 1/2 of the apple juice with white grape juice.
1/2 cup dry baby cereal  

Heinz or Gerber (Rice or Oatmeal) 

***NOTE: Most gliders do not like the taste of the oatmeal.  I use rice with fruit bits)

Blend well for 5 minutes.  Turn off blender, then pour into Tupperware bowl or ice cube trays and FREEZE.  It wil freeze to the consistency of ice cream.

1 cube is approximately 2 tablespoons, depending on your ice cube trays.  Measure out your first few cubes by pouring 2 tablespoons into each cube. 

This mix will feed 1 glider for approximately 1 month.

Do NOT mix the fruits and veggies in before freezing.



*** There is a very strict list of vegetables and fruits to be fed with the BML diet plan.  ***

Vegetables: corn, peas, carrots, green beans.   

Fruits: apples, grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, frozen pitted cherries, blueberries.

Do NOT feed the seeds of apples or the pits of cherries.  You can use fresh or frozen, but do NOT used canned.

Do NOT use fruit slurries or vegetable relishes.


Feeding Instructions: 

The rule of thumb per glider is:

1 Tablespoon of the BML basic mix
1 Tablespoon of fruits
1 Tablespoon of veggies 

Feed insects in the morning as a snack.
