Ingredients<\/h3>\n

\n
• 2\u00a0tbsp\u00a0ghee<\/li>\n
• 1\/2\u00a0tsp\u00a0sea salt<\/li>\n
• 4\u00a0pork chops\u00a0boneless<\/li>\n
• 2\u00a0chayote\u00a0chopped to 1\/2-inch chunks<\/li>\n
• 2\u00a0tbsp\u00a0monkfruit sweetener\u00a0or low carb sweetener of choice<\/li>\n
• 1\u00a0tsp\u00a0cinnamon<\/li>\n
• 1\/8\u00a0tsp\u00a0nutmeg<\/li>\n
• 1\u00a0tbsp\u00a0apple cider vinegar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Instructions<\/h3>\n

  \n
  • Melt ghee in a large skillet over medium heat, add pork chops and cook for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n
  • Flip the pork chops and add chayote and sprinkle sweetener, cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple cider vinegar over the top. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the pork chops reach the appropriate temperature (145 F for medium rare, 160 for medium).<\/li>\n
  • Remove the pork chops and place in a meal prep container if preparing meals for the week, otherwise keep pork chops warm until ready to serve.<\/li>\n
  • Bring the chayote mixture to a boil for several minutes. Reduce heat to low medium and simmer with cover, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 40 minutes. When done, the chayote will be fork tender and similar in texture to baked apple.<\/li>\n
  • Divide the chayote mock apples between four meal prep containers or serve immediately alongside the warm pork chops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Notes<\/h3>\n

    2g net carbohydrates per serving<\/strong>\u00a0– which gives you room for a couple more things if you’d like to add that to your meal prep container or tailor things to your personal macros.\u00a0Here, I used 1\/2 cup (15g) of\u00a0raw spinach\u00a0to lay my pork on. That’s only 0.24g net carbs, 0.43g protein, 0.06g fat, and 3 calories.\u00a0There’s also 1 oz (28g) of\u00a0almonds\u00a0on the side: 2.61g net carbs, 6g protein, 14.16g fat, and 164 calories.\u00a0Total macros per meal prep container as shown:\u00a0<\/p>\n
