Vegan Chipotle Chili!
This Vegan Chipotle Chili is such a hearty and delicious meal. The smoked paprika and chipotle powder add a rich depth of flavour and bring out the smokiness of this chili. It is perfect enjoyed on a rainy day or for a healthy and balanced pre or post workout meal. The black beans and red kidney beans add tons of protein, while the quinoa adds both additional protein and complete carbohydrates. Adding sliced avocado would compliment this meal perfectly, and would also add some healthy fats. I like to serve this chili in stuffed peppers with a creamy dressing and fresh guacamole, but it is also delicious on its own!
