Hidden Vegetable Paleo AIP Meatballs

These paleo aip meatballs are flavorful, healthy, and loaded with lots of good-for-you ingredients! Try these out for a decent helping of vegetables when you don’t love the taste of vegetables. In addition to the amount of vitamins/minerals in these, turmeric and coconut are used for their anti-inflammatory properties. Healthy, not much work, and taking less than 30 minutes, this recipe makes for a quick paleo aip (autoimmune protocol compliant) main dish.

Please note that these meat patties can be cooked in batches, frozen, and reheated. However, they taste much better fresh (or within a few days after refrigerating). If re-heating, make sure to add a bit of water before microwaving/heating on the stove top.

Paleo Autoimmune Protocol (AIP)

Curious what AIP means? After I got diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases, eventually I gave up on conventional medicine and medications. Shortly after, I began what was known as Paleo AIP.  Paleo AIP is pretty much a stricter version of the paleo diet. However, additional foods are removed that could cause inflammation among those with weaker immune systems. Learn more here. If you’re interested in recipes that are strictly AIP, check out my paleo AIP recipes.

One of the most common comments I get about Paleo AIP is that there is no way it can be maintained regularly. That’s the beauty of it, you continue on it until your body feels healed. At that point, many taper off of it, into just a healthier diet in general. However, some may find that there were certain food triggers for their symptoms and choose to continue to avoid those. It took me about six months to feel better! But, I didn’t realize I had other contributing factors to my health issues, so it may have worked a lot sooner if I’d known. Either way, being on that strict of a clean diet, you learn so many healthy ways to add flavor to your food that you never would of imagined. There’s really nothing to lose!

Enjoy! Here’s to regaining our sparkle together,
