These organic meatballs are loaded in energy-boosting iron and protein, and are totally free from any antibiotics, hormones, or artificial by-products. They are delicious AND are super-easy to prepare.
Just roll these protein-packed meatballs in a sprouted grain wrap, coupled with colourful phytonutrient-rich veggies and sprouts, and bake for 10 minutes. That’s it! Fresh and crisp sprouts add more nutrients than spinach, while Greek yogurt packs in more protein and less fat than sour cream. Bonus? It’s a natural probiotic and that helps keep your kids’ tummies and immune systems happy! Get ready to rock and roll!

*Whenever possible, choose sprouted grain bread/wraps for a boost in nutrients. When grains are sprouted, enzymes are activated, the carbs and proteins are broken down into a form that’s easier to digest, and the nutrient profile increases tenfold. It looks and tastes like regular whole grain bread, but nutritionally-speaking, it doesn’t compare!
Tip: Mixing Greek yogurt and salsa also makes a delicious and lightened-up layered dip for parties. Mix together and top with shredded lettuce, olives and cheese. Serve with baked tortilla chips and no one will suspect how healthy it is!
