For dinner tonight, I made these stuffed meatballs, and my tummy and tastebuds are really happy about it! This recipe is really quite good for you! It’s packed full of protein, and the kale and quinoa add tons of beneficial nutrients. On top of that, the fact that I used goat’s milk mozzarella to stuff them adds a whole bunch of awesome benefits as well! I’ve mentioned before that goat’s milk is the closest in makeup to human milk of all of the milks out there. Hence, it is the easiest for humans to digest and absorb nutrients from, and it is the best option in terms of any form of dairy. Additionally, goat’s milk, and hence goat cheese, has several awesome healthful properties, 8 of which are shown in the following image.
Along with all these great health benefits, this recipe is also really easy to make, which is always a bonus. These would go great with a tomato sauce, but they are also SO good on their own. Let’s get to the recipe!
