I have been meaning to post this vegetarian chili since I brought it school for lunch a while ago. A few of my fellow holistic nutritionist’s asked me for the recipe so I thought I would share. I had to make it again so I could post this and actually measure this time so sorry for the delay ladies.

The sprouted bean trio used in this recipe is from truRoots, found at Costco where I also buy truRoots quinoa. The bean mix is sprouted which increases the beans and lentils nutritional value and also makes them easier to digest. Beans are a great source of protein and I serve it with brown rice to complete the protein in this meal.

When cooking the beans I add a piece of kombu seaweed to the water as it aids in the digestion of beans and kombu is a great source of iodine. Top the chili with natural goat yogurt, cilantro, avocado slices and a wedge of lime.

This weekend coming up is game weekend! This chili is amazing served with gluten free cornbread for all your vegetarian and non vegetarian friends. I will post the recipe for the cornbread tomorrow!!
