Recipe: Skittle Skewers

Let’s be real. I’m no Giata or Julia Child by any means, but let me tell you, I know how to do is to eat my colors.

Too bad it isn’t M&M’s or Skittles, haha! As obesity is on the rise and illnesses like cancer become more prevalent, the world has begun shifting to living healthier lifestyles these last few years.

It’s very obvious with all the activewear retailers are starting to carry along with athleisure as the major and a huge part of what’s trending in the fashion world currently.

It’s been said time and again that cooking at home versus eating out helps people save money and eat healthier. However, cooking at home is never an easy task for those of us who have packed schedules, which is why I’m pretty sure services such as Plated exist.

The idea of eating healthy while we’re on the go is laughable with so many McDonalds, Taco Bells (ew) and other fast food places on every corner of the world, so I know what you’re thinking, “Huong, I don’t have time to cook and fast food is just easy.”

Today, I’m here to share with you at least ONE recipe you can steal from me so it’s ONE less excuse for you to not be giving your body what it needs to function right. One thing, I love to do with my friends is skewers (and don’t groan at the idea of firing up the grill until you’ve read everything) or kabobs, but I like to call them “Skittle Skewers” because I’m eating my rainbow of awesome goodness, haha!
