Pumpkin Chili Loaded with Superfoods
This chili uses cannellini beans and red kidney beans, both loaded with protein, fiber, and iron. Now that’s a superfood! People often forget how nutritious beans truly are. With this pumpkin chili, you’ll be getting so many nutritious vitamins and minerals in one bowl.
Pumpkin also has beta-carotene and vitamin A, both necessary for eye health. Pumpkin is also has a ton of fiber which will make this chili super filling.
You can also use ground beef in this recipe. I just like to use a lean, white meat. Mix it up however you want! This pumpkin chili is perfect for the Fall when we have pumpkins all over the place.
