Weight Loss Dinner: Meatballs And Courgette Spirals

Meatballs And Courgette Spirals Recipe

This dish is a perfect alternative to meatballs and pasta, offering a light and healthy version to a classic dinner dish. When focusing on weight loss adapting your favourite meals is always possible. Making a few changes to maintain within your diet rather than cutting out meals completely will allow you to still enjoy the food you love most.

When choosing the meat for this dish, opt for a high percentage of meat. This represents the quality of meat you're consuming and cancels out the number of additives some meat products contain.

At FitFarms the nutrition plan always consists of high-quality meats, veg and organic food products which allows for the highest levels of nutrients and vitamins consumed through your diet.
