My lightened version of chili

A super healthy low-fat and low-cal chili, perfect for cold days. It's tasty and hearty too.

This is a very good chili recipe. If you have ground beef or turkey, or some cooked chicken, you can add these to the chili, too. About 1/2 pound of ground meat or about 1 cup of cooked meat will be plenty. This recipe doesn't need meat to taste good, though--it is excellent just the way it is!

Low calorie & low fat. Serve with cheese and cornbread. Can add about 1 cup leftover meat such for more protein.

Low calorie, high flavor. I like to use a mix of beans but you could certainly use a can of one kind for ease. I often substitute skim or lowfat milk for the coconut milk to skim more calories. I'm a little heavy handed with the lentils, so more water may be necessary.

For a delicious and different cold-weather favorite, use lentils instead of regular beans and meatless crumbles instead of beef... no one will ever know.

Super easy and flavorful crock pot recipe that's high in protein, low in fat, and wonderfully filling. Enjoy!

I was trying to make chili with what I had in the fridge and this is what I came up with and it actually turned out really well (my boyfriend loved it!).

It's also low in sodium and has high protein and fiber.

Simple and easy hearty, but healthy chili.

The inspiration of this recipe came from having left over ground turkey and brown rice that I didn't want to waste. I hope you enjoy.

Lentils are a wonderful nutrient dense food. High in fibre and protein with little fat as well as being low on the glycemic index. Spices like chilies and garlic help to rev your metabolism. For vegetarians, vegans, and omnivores alike.

A lot of ingredients but REALLY easy to make and makes a lot of meals.

You can add less salt and reduce the sodium by using salt free tomatoes and reducing the salt at the end.

I made this lentil chili and realized the leftovers would be great as vegetarian empanada filling. I'd love to hear how else you use the leftovers.

It's rib-sticking chili without ground beef. For a no-sweat version, use frozen chopped onion, frozen diced bell peppers and jarred minced garlic. Use your choice of toppings, such as lowfat sour cream, grated cheese, or minced red onion.

Add Non-Fat Sour Cream and Reduced-Fat Jack Cheese to Taste
