Mediterranean Stuffed Bell Peppers with Tzatziki

You need to try this recipe if you are looking for a DELICIOUS, high protein, nourishing, and simple dinner idea. I am seriously so obsessed with this recipe. It has an amazing texture with the crunch of the baked bell pepper and the creamy tzatziki on top. Tzatziki is insanely good, so let these bell peppers be your tzatziki boat!

This recipe is pretty filling too, with all the protein and fiber, while still being a lighter dinner.

Ingredients and Benefits:

Bell peppers: Rich in vitamins and fiber to protect against disease. Try buying different colors for different nutrients!

Pasture-raised ground meat: Pasture-raised meat provides more vitamins, omega-3s, and overall have a better nutritional profile. Pasture-raised meat is better for the environment too because it helps restore nutrients in the soil.  I purchase 100% pasture-raised meat online from US Wellness or Grassroots Co Op (Use code “LIVNATURALLY” for 15% off) Of course, ground meat provides a lot of protein too!

Red onion: Rich in quercetin and phytonutrients to support heart health.

Garlic: Has antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Tip: let garlic sit out for 10-15 minutes after mincing so the enzyme allicin is activated and the benefits are retained!

Tzatziki: Rich in protein, calcium, health fats, and fiber. This is a must!
