Ingredients

Notes
We take chili pretty seriously at Prescribe Nutrition. It’s a meal everyone can enjoy, and every dietary style should be able to enjoy. Think vegetarian chili isn’t flavorful? Think again. This dish doesn’t even need a side accompaniment, but we love it served with greens.
Make ahead tip: This stores great in the fridge for 4-5 days, and freezes very well.
