Discover 12 delicious low carb high protein meals that are quick and easy to make. Elevate your cooking game with these healthy recipes today!


Ingredients

  • 8 oz (220 g) ground beef
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) basil, chopped
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) zucchini, shredded
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) vegan cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) green pesto
  • salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl until they are well blended. Shape the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a walnut, using your hands.
  2. Cook the meatballs in a nonstick skillet with a small amount of oil, placing a cover over the pan.
  3. After 4-5 minutes, turn them over to cook the other side. Optionally, you can also brown the edges.
  4. Pair with a side of salad, cauliflower rice, or zucchini noodles for a complete high-protein, low-carb meal.

Notes

  • – To achieve a tender texture, avoid overmixing the ground beef with other ingredients.
  • – Taste the mixture before shaping meatballs to adjust seasoning based on your preference.
  • – Ensure meatballs are fully cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safety.
