These tuna avocado balls are pure perfection.
They are incredibly delicious (and this statement comes from a picky eater), super high in protein and low in carbs and relatively easy to make.
It can be a challenge to get “perfect” balls but if you don’t have to take pictures for a blog post you’ll be fine!
What I love about this recipe:
Be careful though and don’t overdo the tuna consumption because it does contain mercury that may accumulate in your body (Keep in mind: this only happens when you eat ridiculous amounts of it – aka every day for every meal – and it doesn’t affect your body negatively in small amounts.)
KETO TUNA AVOCADO BALLS INGREDIENTS:
(You can find the exact amounts needed in the recipe card at the end of this post.)
If you don’t mind the extra fat, you can also use tuna in sunflower oil.
HOW TO MAKE KETO TUNA AVOCADO BALLS:
1. Mix the ingredients:
In a large bowl, mash the avocado.
Add the remaining ingredients except for the almond flour and mix thoroughly.
Use your hands to form small balls.
(I made the mistake of making quite big balls in the beginning, but it was rather difficult to fry them from all sides without them falling apart.
I recommend that you make smaller balls, approx. 1.2″ (3 cm) in diameter so the cooking will be easier.)
2. Roll in almond flour and fry:
Roll the balls in almond flour and fry the balls from all sides on medium to high heat.
(Don’t set it to the highest temperature because they’ll burn much easier.)
I’d say it takes approx. 7-8 minutes to fry them from all sides – flip them every two minutes or so.
3. Serve:
Serve them warm or cold with a side dish of your choice (I recommend oven-baked pepper or a salad).
Nutrition info:
One tuna avocado ball (recipe makes approx. 16 – but the amount may vary depending on the size of your balls) has 0.7g net carbs (2.0g total carbs and 1.3g dietary fiber), 13.2g fat, 7.9g protein and 155 calories.
If you let the fried tuna avocado balls sit on a paper towel after cooking them, you can drain a bit of excess fat.
(I try to be as accurate as possible with this information, but values may vary because of natural occurring fluctuations and different products used.)
