Iron rich Meatballs

I know we have been talking about iron a lot recently. From videos to blog posts we have had some serious iron rich discussions. This is mainly due to my recent life experience of being severely lacking in iron my last trimester of pregnancy and feeling the affects of this drastic dip. My energy level plummeted. I felt that I had little energy and wanted to curl up in a ball and go to sleep as well as brittle and peeling nails. I attributed all of these symptoms to regular pregnancy issues until I received my iron level results. After that I went on an iron supplement and started to monitor better how much iron I was intaking.

1 pound ground beef
1 package of frozen spinach
¼ cup minced onion
1 clove garlic minced
2 tbsp coconut oil
½ cup oats
¼ cup parmesan cheese
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 egg

In a saute pan heat oil. Next add spinach, onion and garlic. Saute until thawed and most of liquid is evaporated. Drain liquid by squeezing spinach in a sieve or cheesecloth. In a bowl place beef, spinach mixture egg, oats, worcestershire sauce and cheese. Preheat oven to 350 form into balls and place on tray cooking for 20 minutes. Enjoy and fatigue fighting meal over zoodles.
