Tips:
- Use lean ground turkey or beef. This will help reduce the overall calories and fat content of the chili.
- Load up on veggies. Vegetables are packed with nutrients and fiber, which can help you feel full and satisfied. Add as many vegetables as you like to your chili, such as onions, peppers, carrots, celery, and tomatoes.
- Use low-sodium broth. Sodium can add a lot of extra calories and unhealthy salt to your chili. Opt for low-sodium or no-sodium broth to keep the calorie count down.
- Add some beans or lentils. Beans and lentils are a great source of protein and fiber. They can also help thicken your chili and make it more filling.
- Use spices and herbs to flavor your chili. Spices and herbs can add a lot of flavor to your chili without adding any extra calories. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor profile.
- Serve your chili with healthy toppings. Healthy toppings can add extra flavor and nutrition to your chili. Some good options include avocado, sour cream, cheese, and salsa.
