Gut-Nourishing Beef Meatballs with Bone Broth & Spinach
A grounding, protein-rich meal that supports gut health, skin, and hormone balance.
Ingredients (serves 2–3)
For the meatballs:
500g grass-fed beef mince
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
1 tbsp Best of the Bone, Gevity or Nutra Organics Bone Broth Concentrate (use straight from the jar — don’t dilute)
1 egg (or 2 tbsp flaxseed meal + 4 tbsp water for egg-free option)
2 tbsp almond meal or breadcrumbs
1 tsp Himalayan sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp olive oil or ghee
For serving:
1 cup cooked jasmine or brown rice
½ cup bone broth (to simmer meatballs in)
Fresh herbs (parsley or basil)
Optional: squeeze of lemon + drizzle of olive oil before serving
Instructions
Mix the meatballs:
In a large bowl, combine beef mince, garlic, chopped spinach, egg, almond meal, salt, pepper, and bone broth concentrate. Mix gently until combined (don’t overwork the mince or they’ll go tough).
Shape & bake:
Roll into small balls (~1.5 tbsp each). Bake in the oven for 12-15 mins, rolling them halfway so they cook through.
Serve:
Spoon the meatballs and broth over warm rice, scatter with herbs, and finish with a drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of lemon.
Why your gut loves this:
Bone broth: Rich in collagen, glycine, and amino acids that repair the gut lining and support skin elasticity.
Spinach: Adds folate, magnesium, and prebiotic fibre.
Grass-fed beef: High in iron, zinc, and B12 — essential for energy and hormone production.
Garlic: Natural prebiotic that feeds healthy gut bacteria.
Tip: simmer the meatballs in a little bone broth after browning to lock in more flavour.
Great for meal prep, we make a big batch of these and have them for lunch throughout the week. Great on top of salads and in wraps too.
