Meatballs are good on spaghetti, subs or even by themselves and these healthy meatballs are no exception. Plus, these meatballs are packed with veggies, but you won’t even taste it ?
Italian food is hard to mimic especially when you’re on that keto lifestyle. All we can do is try and I’m so glad I found a healthy recipe that’s a total keeper. You can have these meatballs for lunch, dinner or even a snack, I know I have. Plus, you get a quality serving of veggies with it!
I used a whole cup of arugula for this recipe. OK I know what you’re thinking – but arugula is so bitter??!!! Trust me, you won’t even know you’re eating arugula with these babies. I love cooking and it was an exciting to challenge myself in making a healthier meatball recipe. If you babes have any requests, give me a comment below!

My Go To Healthy Meatball Recipe
I cannot tell you how many times a month I make this healthy meatball recipe. It’s super easy and super yummy and it keeps me full for a long time because it has about 27g of protein per serving. I love pairing it with Miracle Noodles which has zero carbs and top it off with Rao’s Marinara (which has the lowest sugar content in the marinara market!).
