In the realm of meal prep, having a versatile and protein-packed option like meatballs can be a game-changer.
Whether you're looking for a quick lunch to take to work or an easy dinner solution after a long day, these healthy meatballs have got you covered. Packed with lean protein and bursting with flavor, they're sure to become a staple in your weekly meal prep rotation.
While traditional meatballs may be heavy on fat and calories, this recipe takes a lighter approach without sacrificing flavor. By using ground flax meal instead of bread crumbs, we not only reduce the carb content but also add a wealth of nutrients, elevating the nutritional profile of this classic dish. It also provides fiber to support a healthy gut microbiome and keep you satiated without feeling weighed down. That's the magic of the Fab Four!
Why do I love meatballs? Meatballs are a classic comfort food that offers endless possibilities. They're incredibly versatile, allowing you to experiment with different meats, herbs, and spices to create a dish that suits your taste preferences. Plus, they're freezer-friendly, making them perfect for batch cooking and meal prep. Once cooked, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days or frozen for longer-term storage.
Simply whip up a big batch over the weekend, portion them out, and you'll have a satisfying protein option ready to go whenever hunger strikes. For a quick weeknight dinner, serve them with zoodles or lentil pasta and your favorite marinara sauce. Enjoy!
