Notes
These freeze well when cooled completely. An easy option to have on hand for those weeks that you have too much fun on the weekend and don’t prep!
*If trying to stay very low carb, choose the Almond Flour for your dry binding ingredient.
*Some red meat is okay but watch your intake. If you have red meat scheduled for dinner or lunch, be certain to choose chicken or turkey for your meatballs.
