Recipe: Vegetarian Chilli

Why I’m obsessed with Vegetarian Chilli:

This vegetarian chilli is one of my all-time favourites because of the minimal prep work needed resulting in such a hearty, healthy and versatile dish!⁠

I always recommend that my clients have protein with every meal, and I’ve found that it’s challenging sometimes to do so! But, if you have this vegetarian chilli on hand, and you add a couple of big spoonfuls to your meal, your protein needs are instantly sorted!⁠

Our gut bacteria loves beans. So enjoying this dish satisfies your taste buds and your gut’s needs.⁠

It can be eaten as is or with mashed potatoes, boiled potato, rice, quinoa, in tacos… or pretty much anything really! You can even increase the amount of stock you use, double it up and enjoy this dish as a bean soup.⁠
