#mealplanning #mealprep #sweetpotatochili
Hey #racefam – got some positive anecdotal response to the meal prep videos and I have to eat anyway – so here is a super easy Sweet Potato Chili recipe that will make multiple meal preps. So easy and packed with flavor and you can even get a workout in while you’re cooking! In the video I tied a few things, but cleaned up the recipe, so be sure to follow the recipe more than the video – even though you can’t screw it up. Sweet potato chili is very forgiving. Fire roasted tomatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, cinnamon and smoked paprika really layer on the flavor in this dish. I mention it a few times in the recipe video, but you can absolutely skip the Ground Beef in here and make it vegan by just switching out that 1 thing – everything else is super clean. You could add another onion and green pepper or celery to give it even more veggie power!
For everything needed in this recipe – order it on Amazon from my storefront (look for the right recipe collection):
