Clean Eating Chili- Just In Time the Snow Day

I have been getting asked a lot to post my Clean Eating Chili recipe that I make about twice a month (it makes multiple servings and freezes well). This is a great time to make it to have something warm, comforting and guilt free for the snow that is yet again coming to the North East tomorrow.

I cannot take all the credit for this recipe, it is actually out of the Nutrition Plan for Body Beast (a Beachbody program I am currently doing and will be doing a post on it later this week). I changed things up a bit and will be posting my version of the recipe. I add lots of veggies and even my husband who does not eat ANY veggies, ate this chili because you cannot taste the veggies with all the delicious seasonings. Great way to trick you picky eaters in your house into getting a good dose of veggies. If you decide to try it or have your favorite snow day recipe, comment below :)
