Even though it isn't officially Fall just yet, that doesn't mean we can't get started on warm, cozy meals for dinner! I am a HUGE chili fan, but not a big fan of the extra calories, heavy fats and bloating that can come with it. Here are some tips to keeping your chili batch healthier and your stomach happier:... Use lean ground turkey instead of beef Add more vegetables to increase fiber and nutrients, like bell peppers and zucchini Use organic, low sodium broth, or switch to water and just add more spices to give it flavour Try to minimize canned vegetables by using fresh produce or soaked products (like kidney beans) Swap out sour cream for Greek yogurt to top it off Make your batch with these tips tonight! #food #balancedlifestyle #healthylifestyle #nutrition #natural #wellness #chili #fall #fallfoods #cozy #warm #healthy #holistic
