Meatballs PKU style

 

Today I decided to try and make meatballs PKU style alongside regular meatballs.  Please forgive my plating….not very good at it, but here are the results.  The type picture is regular meatballs which potatoes and carrots, and below are the low protein meatballs.  

So, how did I make them?  I took some jackfruit and chopped it up very finely, and then added some breadcrumbs (you could use low protein bread crumbs to reduce the phe/protein if you wanted to).  I added some spices, salt, and pepper, and then just fried them in a pan with oil like I did the regular meatballs.  

Genavieve said she liked them and ate them all.  

*Please remember to calculate the phes/protein in the recipes posted to ensure they will fit within you or your child’s diet.  These recipes fit within my children’s diets, but they may not fit everyone’s needs.  If they are too high in protein consider swapping out lower protein ingredients for the higher ones we have listed.
