Many people on metabolic balance have goat cheese or chèvre on their metabolic balance® meal plan. It is a soft white cheese made from goat’s milk that resembles cream cheese and usually comes packaged as a log.
I ran across this simple but elegant recipe that can be adapted to anyone’s menu and customized to suit any pallet. Buffalo mozzarella may be substituted.
Use a gorgeous glass jar to set any table or even for gift-giving.
BEGIN
- Cut an 8-unce goat cheese log into 4 equal pieces; form balls.
- Pack all 4 balls into a sterilized wide-neck jar.
- Cut 1 red chile in half, through the stalk.
- 2 strips of zest from 1 lemon. If lemon is on your plan, if not, look another citrus, or a stalk of lemon grass or a dash of your favorite vinegar.
- Add chili, lemon zest to the jar.
PLUS

WHY CHOOSE METABOLIC BALANCE?
Metabolic balance® is not a standardized diet plan, but rather a holistic approach to putting your body’s metabolism into a healthy balance and reaching your ideal body weight.
Insulin, the pancreatic hormone, plays a central role in this process. It “opens the doors” to our body’s cells, allowing blood sugar to enter and supply the body with energy. Being overweight has a strong effect on the delicate balance between blood sugar and insulin levels and is thus the root of many common illnesses and disorders.
Healthy nutrition, as recommended by metabolic balance®, will stabilize your body’s insulin level, maintain the natural feeling of fullness after a meal and balance your body’s metabolism. The cornerstone of metabolic balance® program is a personalized nutritional “road map” based on your body’s bio-chemistry. If you are interested in finding out more about metabolic balance,®.
