Three Bean Chili recipe

15/07/2022

As any plant-based athlete knows, chickpeas and beans won’t let you down. They taste great and they’ll fill the tank so you can get moving.

Wholefoods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains can be more affordable and healthier than animal products.

This easy chili combines those staples with the vibrant flavours of chili powder, cumin and jalapeño for a dish you can return to time and again. Don’t feel like you have to wait for the chilly winter months for this recipe – it’s just as tasty cold, too.
