Yes well alternatively drop It all Ina tupperware & shake vigorously…
But they dig the toothpaste squeeze.
Interesting idea, Drew. I’m not a big fan of plastic bags for something like that, but I’m glad you and your kids like it. That’s what’s most important. Thanks for commenting – Bruce
Daddy Drew’s speed tuna- kids love this…
Dump all of your ingredients into a zip lock bag, press out the air and seal.
Roll the bag between your palms until it looks homogenous- much less than a minute for me, 2 minutes max for a 9 yr old. Tear a corner off the bag with your teeth and toothpaste squeeze onto bread.
(oh and drain the tuna juice on the dogs kibble)
