Easy Recipe: Asian Style Meatballs (21DSD)

Meatballs are a simple way to get a protein-punch with lots of variety in flavors. Whether you're switching to a Paleo diet, or taking on The 21-Day Sugar Detox, these Asian style meatballs are a perfect protein popper for dinner with the slaw pictured, over a salad for lunch, or even paired with some eggs or veggies for breakfast.

The rich flavors of the coconut aminos and fish sauce in these meatballs pairs perfectly with the pop of brightness from the green onions and the lime. Once you make these, you'll find they're easy to throw together any weeknight when you have ground meat and haven't made a plan!

These meatballs have a really similar flavor profile to my Shrimp & Pork Cabbage-Wrapped Dumplings without the wrapper. For an easy dipping sauce that works well with the meatballs, too, check out the dumping recipe.

Enjoy!
