Here’s a wonderful protein-packed snack recipe. The addition of homemade BBQ sauce takes these meatballs from regular to extraordinary. Enjoy as a power snack or throw a couple on a pile of greens for a light meal.

Makes: 18

Here’s what you need…

• 2 beaten eggs
• 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
• 1/4 cup flax meal
• 1/2 cup onion, finely minced
• 2 Tablespoons coconut milk, canned, full fat
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 oz ground cooked ham
• 12 oz ground raw pork
• 1/3 cup coconut crystals
• 2/3 cup organic, no-sugar-added ketchup
• 3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1. In a large bowl combine eggs, almond flour, flax meal, onion, coconut milk, Dijon, and pepper. Add ground ham and ground pork; mix well. Shape into 18 balls, using about 1/4 cup mixture for each ball. Place ham balls in a lightly greased 2-quart rectangular baking dish.
2. In a bowl combine coconut crystals, ketchup, vinegar, and Dijon. Stir until the coconut crystals dissolve. Pour a spoonful over each ham ball.
3. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven about 35 minutes or until done. Transfer ham balls to a serving platter and enjoy!
