Can These Lamb Kebabs Make You Forget About Other Red Meat?

Can These Lamb Kebabs Make You Forget About Other Red Meat?

Lamb_skewers_with_roasted_beets

Our mouth watering and cleanse approved lamb kebabs are great mini appetizers to enjoy at any party, or add in our roasted beet salad and make it a delicious and satisfying meal. Whatever way we choose to enjoy these lamb kebabs the wonderful mix of flavor and spices in these lamb kebabs will have us coming back for seconds, and maybe even thirds!

The Nutritious Benefits our Lamb Kebabs

Lamb can be, and often is, overlooked as a source of meat. We tend to choose chicken, turkey or fish as our healthy animal protein sources, however lamb is a very lean and healthy choice especially while on the cleanse. Our lamb kebabs are an excellent source of high quality protein and a great alternative to red meat. Lamb also contains high levels of Zinc, to help support our immune system and B12 Vitamins to help with digestion and energy levels.

Crank up the Beets for Our Grilled Lamb Kebabs

A roasted beet salad makes a great addition to our lamb kebabs, or any savory meal. The sweetness of the roasted beets pairs well with such a savory dish. Beets are a rich in immune boosting Vitamin C and dietary fiber, making them a great vegetable to eat when we are feeling under the weather. They are also great at helping to fight inflammation.
