January 2012 dry gutload recipe

3 cups alfalfa (protein, vitamins including K)
1 cup powdered kelp (iodine, calcium, magnesium)
1 cup air dried, shredded dandelion leaves (calcium, vitamins)
1 cup of crushed Barley(vitamins, minerals including selenium copper and manganese, essential amino acids like tryptophan, fiber)
1 cup stabilized Rice Bran (vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, Omega fatty acids, fiber, phytosterols, antioxidants)
1 cup sesame seed (calcium, iron, copper, magnesium, maganese, selenium)
1/2 cup of ground (dead and dry) garry oak leaves (tanins, fibre)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds (B vitamins, folate, potasium, etc)
1/4 cup raw pumpkin and squash seeds (Protein, Vitamin K, Iron, Copper, Magnesium)
1/4 cup dried cranberries (sweetness, antioxidants)
6 tablespoons bee pollen
6 tablespoons spirulina (carotenoids, vitamin K, pantothenic acid, magnesium, potassium, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, iron, copper, manganese, sodium, protein - all 8 essential amino acids)
5 tablespoons millet (fiber, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, lecithin, iron, magnesium)
4 tablespoons of brewers yeast (B vitamins including folic acid, chromium, selenium)
4 tablespoons raw almonds (potasium, b vitamins, vitamin E)
2 tablespoons organic dried coconut (yummy)
2 tablespoons of hemp seed (Essential Fatty Acids, essential amino acids, protein, fibre)
2 tablespoons of ginger powder (Vitamin E, B6, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Selenium, and Manganese)

I use a coffee bean grinder to blend all of the above together into a fine meal. I use this dry meal primarily for roaches and crickets. Something similar is used as substarte/gutload for superworms and mealworms.

Additionally, they are fed a "wet" gutload. more info: http://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/75-feeder-nutrition-gutloading.html
