Ingredient & AIP Update
Lovebird recently added buckwheat flour to some of their recipes to increase protein and nutrient density — but don’t panic! Buckwheat is a seed, not a grain, and it’s completely gluten-free.
Here’s how it breaks down:
-
🥣 Original Unsweetened → 100% AIP Core Elimination Stage Compliant
-
🍯 Honey, 🌿 Cinnamon, 🍫 Cocoa, 🍓 Fruity → Contain buckwheat, suitable for Modified AIP Elimination or Stage 1 Reintroduction
Lovebird continues to evolve and listen to its community — so whether you’re in full elimination or starting reintroductions, there’s a flavor for every AIP journey!

Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet or an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper depending on your preferred "sweet tweet" presentation - 1) Cookie Clusters, 2) Cookie Bars or 3) Bird Food Bits
- With the exception of the Lovebird cereal and shredded coconut, mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until smooth.

- For Cookie Clusters: with damp hands gently form clusters about 1" in diameter and place them on the lined cookie sheet. For Cookie Bars: with damp hands press the mixture firmly into an lined 8 x 8 pan. For Bird Food Bits: turn the mixture out onto a lined cookie sheet and and spread it in a thin layer.
- Refrigerate your clusters, bars or bird food bits for 15-30 minutes or until firm.
- For cookie bars, once they're firm you can cut then into what ever size or shapes you like. For bird food bits, break them up into bite sized pieces.
- Enjoy!
- Store refrigerated in a sealed container.
Notes
The tigernut flour and tigernuts/avocado oil are to create tigernut butter, so if you have tigernut butter but not tigernut flour you can simply use 4 Tbsp. tigernut butter instead.
