Sharp Cheddar and our All-American spice blend bump up the flavour in these juicy meatballs, which pair perfectly with the earthy carrot fries (a flavourful swap for potato fries to keep the carbs in check). The slaw completes the dish, providing crunch and a touch of sweetness and acidity for the perfect balance of flavours. Serve it all with our creamy pesto for dipping! This recipe is under 650kcal per serving and under 30g carbohydrates per serving.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.
