Carnivore Sausage Balls
These Carnivore Sausage Balls are a high-protein, zero-carb snack or meal option that’s as easy to prep as it is to devour. Whether you're following a strict carnivore diet, keto, or just trying to minimize carbs and processed fillers, these are the perfect bite-sized solution.
They’re made with simple, animal-based ingredients — just meat, salt, and a few optional spices if you're more primal or relaxed carnivore. Plus, the texture is satisfying and hearty, with the option to crisp them up in the oven or air fryer.
