Want an easy healthy meal which is still packed with flavour and goodness!


This vegan bean chilli con carne is my go to meal when I’m lacking time and inspiration as it’s so easy to make but is one of my favourite all time dishes.


I love a chilli con carne, and love altering it with diffeent vegetables and proteins. As long as you have that burst of flavour from the cumin and paprika your gonna have an amazing meal. This stripped back version is simply just from beans, no added alternatives. Beans are packed with protein and make a great base for a chilli.
