Thank you to our friends over at Paleo Flourish for this great keto-friendly lunch recipe! For those of you that don’t typically eat sardines, they are an amazing source of protein (7g per oz), omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, vitamin B-12, calcium, and phosphorous. Even better, the protein in sardines is considered “complete”, meaning that it provides all the amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own.
