If you meal prep your baked meatballs, simply allow them to cool, seal in an airtight container, and freeze. Thaw in the fridge and reheat gently in your oven, or add them directly to your favorite sauce to warm. This way, they stay recipe-ready for grain-free noodles, your favorite pasta sauces, and even lettuce wraps.
Serve baked meatballs with creamy cauliflower alfredo, chimichurri sauce, or quick zucchini noodles for a totally filling, low-carb, and paleo-friendly meal.

Note on ingredients: Garlic and onions in the suspect category of the Bulletproof Diet, because they inhibit alpha brain waves and could affect your mood – and depending on where you get them, could be moldy. For that reason, it’s not recommended that you eat garlic or onions often. Black pepper is a suspect spice on the Bulletproof Diet, and highly susceptible to performance-robbing mold toxins. To reduce your risk, omit pepper or grind it fresh using high-quality whole peppercorns.
