1-Getting these Beef Carrot Christmas Balls just right is simple and rewarding, especially when you see your dog’s tail wag. Start by gathering all your ingredients and tools to keep things organized. This method uses a non-stick skillet for cooking, which keeps the kitchen cool and aligns with our no-heat philosophy.

2-First, finely chop the 60 g carrots and 60 g broccoli, then mix them thoroughly with 450 g extra lean ground beef, 30 60 g canned sardines, one large egg, 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, a pinch of black pepper, and optionally 4 teaspoons of kelp powder in a large bowl. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, each about 14 15 g, for easy portioning. Cook the meatballs in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 5 10 minutes, stirring gently to avoid browning too much, then drain any excess fat and let them cool.

3-While the meatballs cool, prepare the pasta sauce by pureeing 226 g pumpkin puree and 115 g red bell pepper together, then add 180 mL water and simmer until well combined before cooling slightly. In another bowl, puree 226 g strawberries and stir them into the cooled pumpkin mixture. For the optional pasta, boil 60 g uncooked spaghetti until soft without any salt or oil, and steam or microwave 250 g sliced zucchini noodles until they’re soft, then cool and combine them.

4-Finally, mix the cooled meatballs with the sauce and place them on top of the pasta and zucchini mixture. Serve in portions based on your dog’s size and caloric needs, like one serving of about 10 mini meatballs for around 330 calories with 27 g carbohydrates, 32 g protein, and 9 g fat. This step-by-step approach ensures everything stays fresh and nutritious, and it only takes about 2 hours total.
