Healthy Pork Chops with Apples + Greens | Whole30 and Paleo

May 2, 2018 Leave a Comment

Jump to recipe

Pork is underrated around here and we often forget to add it to our dinner rotation. Whenever we do make a recipe with pork, though, we always say we should do it more often! I try not to eat too much salt, which is one reason why I tend to shy away from pork, but if you buy the right type, it’s actually low in sodium, lean and high in protein. We usually stick to either plain pork tenderloin (not the type with marinade) or thick cut boneless pork chops.

Healthy Pork Chops with Apples and Greens

A few weeks ago, we grabbed a pack of healthy pork chops impulsively (aka, it wasn’t on our weekly meal plan) and I knew exactly what I wanted to make with them. I got my inspiration from Pinterest but recreated the recipe myself to make it Whole30/Paleo compliant. The end result was fabulous and I’m looking forward to making these again ASAP!

We had actually put the kids to bed and were planning to have a date night to enjoy our delicious dinner, but they were on to us and our 3-year-old tried every excuse in the book to stall bedtime – I believe she broke her record for delays this night and as it turned out, we basically ate dinner in a rush between going back and forth to tuck her back in bed. #parentlife Hopefully next time we can actually sit and savor this dinner! 😉
