A delicious and healthy air fryer appetizer. Think jalapeno poppers, meet meatballs, meet zucchini fritters.

Lately, I’ve been incorporating lots of protein into my diet. I’ve been trying to cut down on carbs also. I will have my healthy carbs in the morning, aka oatmeal or ezekial english muffins, but besides my breakfast, I’ve been staying away from them. Eliminating carbs as well as dairy and introducing more portioned out protein pairs with clean and nutrient rich veggies and fruit has made me feel 1000% better. I;m fitting into my clothes better, have more energy, and am just more mindful about what I’m putting into my body.
