This week we’re cooking up some simple, high-protein skewers! What I love about recipes like these is they’re super customizable. Feel free to add or subtract different ingredients that you like or dislike. Short on time? You could absolutely purchase a pre-made tzatziki sauce. I just love making it myself, plus when using Greek yogurt, it’s another opportunity to add in more protein (and the ingredients are SIMPLE which we love.) Another option for this if you’re tight on time is to skip the skewers and just throw everything on a sheet pan and bake everything in the oven. Then you can serve it up in a bowl and add your sauce.

Don’t forget that recipes don’t have to be rigid. That’s the fun part about cooking. Experiment a little bit and you’ll realize how forgiving it can be!!
