Lemony Chicken Skewers With Squash Salad

“Grilled chicken breasts can be quite uninspiring, but with the help of a punchy dressing, these kebabs pack a lot of flavor. Don’t be scared by the assertive amount of lemon juice — when brushed on boneless skinless chicken breasts and drizzled over mild raw summer squash, it provides just the right amount of bright acidity. “

Lean Endurance;

  • A meal that is high in protein pre workout is helpful for sustained energy with an ability to keep insulin levels low. Low insulin levels = higher fat burning ability during your training sessions.

  • Aids in recovery of muscles; chicken is an excellent source of quality protein.

  • Squash; high in vitamins A, B6, and C, folate, magnesium, fiber, riboflavin, phosphorus, and potassium. That's a serious nutritional power-packed veggie.
