Just Add Some Greens

Since these butternut breakfast meatballs have squash in them in addition to the protein, they’ve got fiber built in which makes them filling and a great way to start your morning. I love eating them over a bed of greens and with some kraut to get the day started with some probiotics, too. Such a yummy and satisfying combo!
