Healthy, because
These skewers contain almost the entire range of B vitamins because of the mushrooms and poultry meat. Nutritional researchers have found that B vitamins can perform their numerous metabolic tasks particularly well when combined.
Even smarter
If you plan to use the skewers as sides for lunch or dinner, try adding some fresh bread or rice!
