• Warm skillet to medium-high heat.
• Spray with coconut oil ONLY spray (make sure there are no propellants) or 1/4 tsp coconut oil.
• Add garlic, onion, and herbs to the meat. Form into meatballs. Roll into hemp seeds for an extra crunch and extra omega 3’s.
• Simmer meatballs in skillet for 10-15 minutes.
• In the meantime, spiralize zucchini (A handheld spiralizer can be purchased online or at Bed Bath and Beyond).
• Add Level 1 marinara (or other no sugar added marinara) to the skillet with the meatballs and simmer for 5 minutes to bring out the sweetness of the sauce.
• Plate the zucchini noodles and top with sauce and meatballs. Garnish with chopped fresh basil. Enjoy!
• Save a serving of meatballs for later, making meal prep a breeze!

Health Coach Tips:

• Zucchinis are healthier eaten raw because they retain their essential enzymes, which increases digestion. When you add hot marinara to them, it will slightly cook the noodles so they still retain most of the enzymes.
• If your primary goal is fat-burning, the best results will come from omitting hemp seeds- or cut back. They do add a bit extra fat!
• If your primary goal is a healthy lifestyle or you’re an athlete, go ahead and pop on the hemp seeds! They are loaded with protein.
