Fall means football season and cooler evenings. And nothing beats a great bowl of chili on a Sunday night while watching the game. This chili incorporates fall vegetables and is versatile. Add whatever you have on hand. The pumpkin purée gives it a nice thick consistency.
This chocolate pudding is full of nutrients including good fats (avocado), protein (tofu), fibre (pumpkin) and lots of flavour (chocolate and maple syrup). If you need a sweet fix, make it a nutritious treat at least. No gluten, no dairy but lots of flavour. Top with coconut yogurt and toasted nuts or seeds and enjoy!
