"Not all recipes that state they are healthy and high in protein are true." Below is a recipe (Mango Chicken Skewers) that was emailed to me from an online exercise program website. This site stated the recipe was a high-protein treat. We do not agree. See the nutritional breakdown below. Each serving contains 14 grams of protein and 31 grams of net carbs (subtracting the fiber) - twice as many carbs than protein. Bottom Line - Each meal and snack should always contain more protein grams than carbohydrates grams per serving. Always read the labels and nutritional breakdown on recipes and food packages.

Recipe: Mango Chicken Skewers: With Memorial Day weekend behind us, the summer season has officially begun. Time to fire up the grill and enjoy some healthy high-protein treats. Check out this recipe that combines lean chicken with the taste of the tropics. 1 tsp. lime rind, grated 1/4 cup lime juice 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil (plus extra to grease grill surface) 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 tsp. chili powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper 3 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut in 1-inch chunks 2 tsp. honey 2 mangoes 1 sweet red pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch pieces 1 small red or sweet onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks Medium bowl Large bowl 8 skewers Brush for marinade Light charcoal grill or preheat gas grill. In a small bowl, create marinade by whisking together lime rind, lime juice, oil, garlic, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Place chicken chunks in large bowl. Pour half of marinade over chicken, toss to coat, and let stand for 20 minutes. Stir honey into remaining marinade, cover, and refrigerate until needed. Cut mango flesh from each side of pit. Cut mango flesh in a grid pattern of 3/4-inch squares down to but not through the skin. Gently push skin to turn inside out and cut off the flesh. Alternately thread mango, pepper, onion, and chicken pieces onto each of 8 skewers. Brush with half of the reserved honey marinade. (Discard marinade that chicken soaked in.) Lightly grease grill surface and place kabobs on it over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning and basting kabobs once with remaining honey marinade until fruit is softened and chicken is browned and cooked through (with no pink inside) and juices run clear (about 8 minutes). Makes 4 servings (2 skewers each). Prep Time: 40 min. Cooking Time: 8 min. Nutritional Information (per serving):
