I love these 3-Meat Greek Balls.
They are great now, but during the depths of my healing, they were really great.
While they are not Low-FODMAP, they do contain liver and liver did wonders for my B12 levels.
Nutrient-Dense Liver
I’m not going to say I love liver. I wish I did, but don’t.
However….
One serving of chicken liver contains:
- 287% DV B12
- 267% DV Vitamin A
- 47% DV Vitamin C
- ….and so much more
And one serving of beef liver contains:
- 3,460% DV B12
- 860–1,100% DV Vitamin A
- 80% DV Iron
- ….and so much more
Because both B12 and Vitamin A are common SIBO deficiencies, I would just suck it up – take it all in like a big girl, and get it done.
Sometimes you’ve just gotta do what you’ve just gotta do.

I won’t lie, though, getting in liver with these 3-Meat Greek Balls was easy.
Not only is it a very simple recipe, but they taste great, too.
Because there are three different types of meat in these meatballs, leaving the liver as only 1/3 of it, you won’t even know it’s there.
When I eat liver, it must be masked.
In addition, the Spicely Organic Greek Seasoning makes a huge difference.
Ingredients
Sea salt, organic onion, organic cracked black pepper, organic garlic, organic parsley, organic basil, organic thyme, organic rosemary, organic oregano, organic lemon zest, organic marjoram, organic spearmint.

Notes
3-Meat Greek Balls Recipe Notes
This recipe will make 8 jumbo meatballs.
You could also make smaller ones, if desired (would likely need to bake for less time then, too).
They are great eaten as-is, but you could also toss them over:
- Spaghetti Squash (I also have many more recipes for Spaghetti Squash on this website)
- Any of THESE brown rice noodles I get from Thrive Market
- Number 2 or 6 from THIS list
Okay, I’d love to know if you make these!
