Recipe of the Week - BBQ Meatballs

Meatballs are a wonderful protein-packed snack recipe. In fact, this isn’t the first meatball recipe that I have shared with you… Check out Sagi’s Signature Meatballs which is straight out of the Body Beast’s “Book Of Beast”.

For this recipe, the addition of homemade BBQ sauce takes these meatballs from regular to extraordinary. You could actually use/re-use the BBQ sauce for either recipe!

Enjoy as a power snack or throw a couple on a pile of greens for a light meal.

For meatballs:

2 beaten eggs
1/2 cup blanched almond flour
1/4 cup flax meal
1/2 cup onion, finely minced
2 Tablespoons coconut milk, canned, full fat
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 oz ground cooked ham
12 oz ground raw pork

For BBQ sauce:

1/3 cup coconut crystals
2/3 cup organic, no-sugar-added ketchup
3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Directions

For meatballs:

In a large bowl combine eggs, almond flour, flax meal, onion, coconut milk, Dijon, and pepper.

For BBQ sauce:
