Superfood Chili

When we were kids, and the weather got cold, we’d have chili Fritos and they were always served in single serving bags, cut on the side and the chili was served in the bag! I thought it was pretty cool to eat out of a chip bag!  I still do … but want a healthier chip situation now

Here’s my take on powering up your chili with some anti inflammatories … swipe left for the recipe

Cacao … full of magnesium and potassium … choose cacao and not coco for max antioxidants

Om mushroom powder.  I work this stuff into as many dishes as a can.  Mushrooms are a powerful immune booster, antioxidant and nervous system modulator

Ceylon cinnamon … more potent than the regular cinnamon you find on most grocery stores, which is cassia. This stuff can help balance blood sugar levels for up

To 24hrs!

Coffee.. I like to add about 2 tbs of brewed coffee for a deeper flavor and for more antioxidants

For fun, serve in a plantain chip bag and top with all your favorites!  I like plain yogurt (probiotics), raw cheddar, sauerkraut (more probiotics), and some avocado
