Got Balls? Meatballs For An Easy Meal-Prep

Need Some Delicious Packable Protein In Your Life?

Asian-Style Chicken Meatballs With Spicy Cucumber Salad.

I've told you before that when I'm busy working, I can often be seen grabbing food right out of my fridge to throw right into my face! I'm busy and I need fuel. What can I say? If something tastes good enough to eat cold – It's a keeper! 

These Asian Chicken Meatballs have been a staple in my house for many years. Not only because they taste fantastic right out of the fridge; but also because they're delicious in a lot of different ways. They're flexible, like me. They can stay!

When I'm Building A Core Protein, I always Have a Formula

My Meatball Formula:

1. Ground Meat (2-3 lbs)
2. About 2 cups of veggies (always including onions and garlic)
3. Spices
4. #40 cookie scoop (for easy portioning)

Once you have a basic formula figured out, you can mix and match different proteins with different veggies and spice combinations. When you make these, you'll know how to make a delicious, gluten-free, paleo, Whole 30 compliant meatball. Yeah, we've got you covered! 

Once you master the basic formula, you can adapt it to different styles...

Anything Can Be A beast Bowl!

This tasty bowl of deliciousness, the "Thai Chicken Meatball Beast Bowl" was the first Beast Bowl ever on my menu. I ate it all the time. I know it's technically not Thai, it's probably more Vietnamese-inspired. No matter what it's called, this Beast Bowl is fantastically delicious and full of protein and veggies.

Thinking back on the evolution of the Beast Bowl, I can clearly see my inspiration. I love vegetables, but salads, meh, not so much. I mean, not salads in the traditional sense. I find salad way too lettuce-y. The Beast Bowl provided an alternative way to get a lot of my favorite vegetables. Technically, building a Beast Bowl is like building a salad that's heavy on the toppings, light on the lettuce.  

The Thai Chicken Meatball Beast Bowl. The OG Beast Bowl – it was the very first one!
