Laura's Lean

Episode 8 - Greek meatballs with lemon orzo 🍋 Comment the word “GREEK” below ⬇️ and I’ll DM you the full recipe & instructions! #ad we’ve partnered with @lauras_lean for this recipe using their 92% lean ground beef, one of my favorite protein staples as a dietitian. From a dietitian perspective, 92% lean ground beef offers a strong balance of high-quality protein with a lower fat profile compared to higher-fat blends like 80/20. With its higher lean content, it provides all essential amino acids needed to support muscle protein synthesis, while helping to moderate overall calorie and saturated fat intake, making it a practical option for supporting body composition goals such as maintaining or building lean muscle within a calorie-conscious framework! Nutritionally, it naturally provides heme iron, supporting oxygen transport and energy levels. It’s also a meaningful source of vitamin B12, which plays a key role in red blood cell formation and neurological function, as well as zinc, an important mineral for immune health, tissue repair, and metabolic function! Combined with the lemon orzo and tzatziki sauce, this meal delivers a balanced mix of high-quality protein, carbohydrates, and fats for a satisfying and nourishing plate. It’s also an incredibly versatile ground beef that works well in so many recipes.
