Okay...so I started my 21 Day Fix Extreme journey and the one thing that I was concerned about was...what was I going to eat?? This program is so focused on your nutrition. Was I going to have to eat salad all day long?? Um...no, not even close. What I found out is that I need to add protein into my diet. So this recipe popped out at me in the nutrition guide. I mean...who doesn't like chili? I am happy to say that I've now had it twice and I approve and want to share. This will be added into our rotation even if I'm not doing the challenge.
How cool is that? I'm getting healthier, learning new recipes, and finding new things to add into my everyday lifestyle to continue this journey day in and day out. You'll have to try it out...let me know how you like it.
