This 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.

Honey sriracha meatballs are the perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and savory, making them a standout choice for meal prep or a flavorful dinner. This recipe features tender meatballs glazed in a sticky honey sriracha sauce, paired with roasted Brussels sprouts and jasmine rice for a complete and balanced meal. With bold flavors and high protein content, these meatballs are as satisfying as they are simple to make.
This recipe is easily customizable for your preferences. You can swap ground beef for ground turkey, chicken, or a plant-based alternative for a lighter or vegetarian option. Add extra sriracha for more heat or reduce the honey for a less sweet glaze. For a low-carb version, pair these meatballs with cauliflower rice or steamed broccoli instead of jasmine rice. This dish is versatile enough to suit a variety of diets while delivering unforgettable flavor.
To store honey sriracha meatballs, divide them into meal prep containers with the Brussels sprouts and rice. Refrigerate for up to four days. Reheat in the microwave in 90-second intervals, stirring halfway through to maintain the glaze’s texture. For long-term storage, freeze the meatballs and sprouts separately, and reheat when ready to enjoy. Explore our blog for more sweet and spicy high-protein meal prep ideas.
