Kiwifruit packs a lot of punch. Two medium kiwifruit contain a whopping 235 percent of the recommended daily allowance for vitamin C and are also high in fiber, and a good source of potassium and vitamin E. Kiwifruit makes a satisfying snack that can help fill you up because it's a high-volume, low-energy-density fruit that's low in calories-just a mere 0.6 calories per gram and zero grams of saturated fat.
Like so many Weight Watchers recipes, Shrimp and Kiwifruit Skewers reflect the food values inherent in the Weight Watchers philosophy-that eating should be satisfying as well as healthy.
