Meatless Spinach Balls
| SPINACH AND BACON | my favorite combo! 🌱🥓 Before choosing this name, I went through a few others. Ultimately I stuck with @spinachandbacon because it aligns with how I like to eat – a combination of treats and healthy dishes. I made these Spinach Balls because I wanted to have a veggie substitute when I was craving “meatballs”. They are also super portable and great to keep in your fridge for meal prep. I enjoy eating meat, but I like options and I like creating new ways to eat my veggies!
