This honey sriracha meatballs meal prep recipe right here is the culmination of two incredible waves that I’ve been on lately: brussels sprouts & meatballs. If you’re not on these waves yet… this recipe is your formal invitation. While I love both meatballs & brussels sprouts on their own, I’ve gotta tell you that pairing honey sriracha meatballs with brussels sprouts creates quite literally the perfect flavor combination. The inherent bitterness of the brussels sprouts complements the sweet & spicy sauce in such a way… you’ve got to experience it to understand the depth of what I’m saying. And let’s not overlook the macros… 65g of protein per serving? Are you kidding me? This isn’t just meal prep; it’s the path toward true macro enlightenment. Ready to make it happen? Let’s dive right in.
