Meal Prep Tip:
For an easy vegetarian option, use the same marinade on portobello mushrooms, and replace the criminis/shitakes with red and orange bell peppers for color variety. Make sure to thickly slice your (3 or 4) portobellos before marinating and grilling. These big 'shrooms are meaty in flavor and crammed with B vitamins: all-star nutrients for supporting your metabolism!
