We absolutely love this recipe for mozzarella stuffed meatballs! Not only is meat and cheese a timeless classic, but its low carb content makes it 100% keto-friendly. In this recipe, we also optionally recommend using zoodles (zucchini noodles) or gluten-free pasta noodles, served with a sugar-free marinara sauce.

One of our favorite parts of this mozzarella stuffed meatball meal prep recipe is that it has a very simple list of ingredients! Plus it’s a total snap to make, with 25-minute meal prep and 15-minute cook time. We used 93% lean beef, but if you're a fan of the ketogenic diet, an 80/20 ratio will work just as well and add an extra butteriness to the flavor profile. NOM!

Using zucchini in this easy, fun meal prep recipe not only makes it more filling but reduces carb content by nearly 10 times per serving, even compared to gluten-free pasta.

Fun fact - 1 serving of zoodles provides an average of 35% of your daily value of vitamin C! It also contains about 94% water so it’s an excellent source of energy.

Not sure how to make zoodles? It’s actually quite simple! All you need is zucchini and a small kitchen tool called a spiralizer, which takes the culinary versatility of fruits and vegetables to a whole new level! If you want to experiment with different flavors (and the options are unlimited), or just aren’t keen on zucchini, we highly recommend checking out the list of our favorite spiralizer recipes here.
