Was $34.98 Now $26.24 (using code EARLY25)

The recipe ticks all my boxes: it’s high in protein (containing 40%, with meat as the first five ingredients), free from nasty fillers, and includes essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fats, like taurine and omega-3s. It’s usually quite pricey (for good reason), so now is the perfect time to give it a try!
