Fitness Chili (With a fat burning kick!)
Optional: 8oz Bean, other fresh herbs, finely chopped veggies, or brown rice. Garnish with cilantro.
Melt oil over medium heat in a large pan or slow cooker and sauté all vegetables listed for about 5 minutes or until onion is translucent. Add ground meat, and spices, stirring frequently for an additional 5-6 min. Add Himalayan pink salt, diced tomatoes and salsa to the pot and mix thoroughly. Cover, reduce heat, and let the chili simmer for at least 1 hour. The longer this sits the more the flavors blend. A slow cooker or crock pot can be used in place of the stove top method. Simply place ingredients in and simmer on low until you are ready to enjoy your hot precooked chili. If you have a high speed blender or food chopper of any kind, prepare this nutrient rich chili in minutes and eat like royalty! Vitamix is by far the best investment I have ever made towards the health of my family and although it was costly, this high speed blender is worth double what I paid! It will live on forever due to its long extended warranty and it well made parts. In case you were unaware it takes only a minute to initiate self-cleaning mode and makes healthy cooking easy and void of excuse!
Want to give this chili a kick and lose fat in the process? Add cayenne pepper! This magic pepper optimizes your body’s circulation and PH balance. It’s a spicy little pepper that packs a wallop. Studies have proven many health benefits like curbing hunger and slowing the growth of fat cells. This is one of the reasons why cayenne pepper is one of nature’s top fat burning foods.
