Easy-peasy Turkey Chili

Such a simple, fast, healthy meal for these cold winter nights.

I am a huge fan of Amy's Organic soups, including their Chili. I reccomend for this recipe to use this chili because it tastes great but these soups also don't have any added junk!

If you choose to use another brand, look for:
Non-GMO: it means no genetic modified organisms were added, yuck!
No preservatives: no extra chemicals were added to keep it fresh
Organic: organic is better, not 100% necessary
Simple Ingredients: any word you can't pronounce - put it back!!


Easy- Peasy Turkey Chili
Servings: 2

1 can Amy's Organic Chili (with vegetables is the one I used)
1/2 pound ground Turkey (just like the chili I stress the importance of using non-GMO, no antibiotics, or preservatives added)
2 Tbsp Olive Oil

That's it! 

I also added (optional)...
1 clove garlic, minced
BIG handful of spinach

In a medium saucepan, brown the turkey in the olive oil (and garlic) on med/high heat until 3/4 cooked. At this point, add the can of chili and lower to a simmer (low/med) heat and cover for another 5-10 min. If you wanted to use spinach, just toss it in until wilted. 

Such a warm, hearty lunch/dinner filled with lots of protein and healthy carbs. 

This is also something you could use on football Sunday to make a chili dip... just a thought!! :)

Mood Boosting Mocha


This is a sugar-free MUCH healthier version than your coffee chain Mocha. It's filled with antioxidants and brain/metabolism boosting benefits!



Mood Boosting Mocha

1/2 cup of unsweetened (vanilla) almond milk 
1/2 Tbsp of raw cacao powder
Dash of cinnamon
1 Tbsp of coconut oil
1 cup of home brewed coffee

Simply combine in a small pan, give a quick mix, and heat up!

This is a perfect morning or pre-workout drink. The coconut oil, raw cacao, and coffee bring the mood lifting antioxidants. The medium-chain fatty acids in the coconut oil combined with the caffeine can also help boost your metabolism. 

Drink this and have the energy you need to take on the day!
