Best mouse food for my mice?

Right now I feed Healthy Select Parakeet Food, but I feel like it doesn't have enough variety. Any other mixes I should try?

Vitakraft Vitasmart Parakeet is what I usually use, and it's one of the recommended foods on this forum. There's also Vita Prima Sunseed Parakeet, it's good too.

There's a few other brands of commercial foods listed in the Diet thread in the Nutrition section.
I used to use Healthy Select Parakeet food. When I did, I added other grains and seeds each time I filled the dish. Oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, brown rice, chia, flax, hemp, pumpkin, etc. Back then I didn't calculate how this changed the GA. But I do like to calculate that with the mix I'm using now, especially with my add-ins being more than 50% of the mix.
If you're looking for more variety in a mix without adding anything to it, Brown's Tropical Carnival (though just a heads up that a few have had trouble with moldy bags) or the Vitakraft Vita Prima Dwarf Hamster are two on that recommended list that have more variety than the parakeet mixes listed there.
Edit: I can't remember the ingredients in Healthy Select Parakeet and apparently it's not carried online anymore. Can you post the ingredients here for me? If I remember right, it wasn't too bad on variety.
