ITS COLD OUTSIDE!!! Time to warm up with this healthy, delicious, and VEGAN chili recipe. The recipe for the Vegan Quinoa Chili was inspired by Cooking Classy. I have added and subtracted a few ingredients according to my taste, and I encourage you to do the same. I decided to add 2 cups of chopped spinach to my chili. Feel free to add spinach, kale, or chard to your pot. This recipe makes about 14 cups of chili. The serving size is 1.5 to 2 cups. If you are making this for a single person, I would take half of the pot and put it in the freezer and divide the other half into 3 dishes for my high carb days. If you would like to reduce the carbs and increase the protein, replace the quinoa with ground beef or turkey. These are the brands that I used.
