Easy 5 min Chipotle Lime Marinade

I LOVE chipotle flavors! Mexican anything is a go in my book! I used to reach for the Chipotle Grill Mates seasoning packet but the very first ingredient is sugar and the sodium content is CRAZY! A whopping 4,160 mg of sodium in 1 packet! Man my bubble was burst when I first realized that these were not the best option for my high protien grilled chicken breasts! When I began on my weight loss journey there were so many things that I was doing wrong. If only I  knew then what I know now I would have saved myself tons of frustration and to think I almost gave up on myself thinking I would never be fit just because I was a mom! If you are lost on where to start on your journey just fill out the application at the top of this page! Now back to the Mexican food because that is what is important!  To serve my craving, I came up with this and I truly love this marinade! We use it all the time and it hits the spot for me and I think you and your family will love it too!
