Clean Eating No Bean Sweet Potato Chili

This no bean chili has become one of my family’s favorite meals. It’s thick, hearty, and loaded with nourishing, healthy ingredients. Although you can do this recipe on the stove, I put it in a slow cooker to allow the flavors to enhance over time. Plus it’s so easy!

This is a great detox recipe. When I am detoxing, I reduce the animal protein, or remove it all together (Shown in photo). If you choose to add protein while detoxing, make sure you use an organic ground chicken or turkey. As you may already know, a high protein diet is hard on our bodies. When I am detoxing, I usually have an animal protein for only one meal per day. There are plenty of plant proteins in my other meals to do what a cleanse needs to do.
