Happy Monday Athletes! Coach Lina here reporting for recipe duty!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We had such an amazing Saturday at the box! After the 10am WoD, we held our very first Nutrition Seminar — Forging Elite Nutrition. We learned a lot, had a great discussion, and I even brought some Paleo snacks to share! They were so good that I didn’t even get a chance to snap a picture of the finished product before they were all gone. I served up some homemade Paleo Turkey Meatballs with guac and sliced cucumber. A great balance of fat, protein, and vegetables. 1 to 3 meatballs make a great snack, and if you make them a little larger (like a burger) or have a few more, it makes a great meal!
As promised, here is the recipe for Paleo Turkey & Veggie Meatballs. This recipe was adapted from a turkey meatball recipe by paleoplan.com
