Description
Iron-rich frozen cubes that make even picky eaters beg for more while supporting energy levels, blood health, and immune function
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Freeze Time: 4 hours | Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes | Makes: 12-14 cubes

Ingredients
- 8 oz venison liver, room temperature (vitamin and iron powerhouse – completely safe when fresh)
- 1/2 cup unsalted chicken broth (smooth blending without excess sodium)
- 1/4 cup cooked quinoa, cooled (complete protein and texture enhancer)
- 1 small carrot, finely grated (beta-carotene for immune support)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (breath freshening and antioxidants)
Instructions
- Let venison liver come to room temperature for easier processing – about 30 minutes from refrigerator temperature.
- Cut liver into smaller chunks to help your food processor work more efficiently (your kitchen will smell like a premium carnivorous feast).
- Process liver until completely smooth – about 2-3 minutes until it reaches creamy pâté consistency with no lumps.
- Add chicken broth gradually while processing to achieve perfect pouring consistency for ice cube trays.
- Pulse in quinoa, grated carrot, and parsley just until evenly distributed throughout the smooth liver base.
- Pour into ice cube trays and tap gently to remove air bubbles that could affect freezing.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours until completely solid – organ meat mixtures take longer to freeze than regular treats.
- Pop out frozen cubes and transfer to airtight freezer containers with proper labeling.
Notes:
- Always use fresh, high-quality liver from reputable sources for maximum nutrition
- Start with smaller portions for dogs new to organ meat to prevent digestive upset
- Room temperature liver blends much more smoothly than cold liver
Storage Tips:
- Store in airtight freezer containers for up to 2 months maximum
- Label clearly with contents and date for food safety and nutrition tracking
- Remove only needed portions to prevent repeated thaw-freeze cycles
What Makes This Recipe Special: These bites provide exceptional concentrations of bioavailable iron, B vitamins, and vitamin A naturally found in liver tissue, supporting energy production, blood health, and immune function more effectively than synthetic supplements. The frozen format slows consumption for better nutrient absorption.
Mix It Up (Dog-Safe Variations):
Energy Boost: Add 1 tablespoon coconut oil for enhanced absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and extra healthy fats for sustained energy.
Antioxidant Power: Include a handful of frozen blueberries for additional antioxidants and natural sweetness that balances liver intensity.
Senior Support: Add 1 teaspoon turmeric powder for anti-inflammatory benefits that work synergistically with liver’s natural nutrients for aging dogs.
