When Kate first made this recipe, I thought there’s NO way it would fit into my meal plan because it tasted SO good! BUT after I calculated the nutrition facts, I was shocked to find out it’s high in protein, low in fat & carbs.
Plus a bonus, If you struggle with Hypothyroidism, you may have a selenium & zinc deficiency. Both are used by the body to convert T4 to T3 hormone.
Well this recipe is SUPER HIGH in Selenium AND Zinc and it tastes delicious!! Slow-cooked Glazed Balsamic Pork Tenderloin!!
