Vegan Chili


Tonight’s recipe is going to use the Bocca Ground Crumbles that I talked about last night.

It’s great for throwing in a crock-pot on a cold morning, like this morning, and let it simmer all day.

Bocca Ground Crumbles


Tonight’s post is about one of my favorite meat substitutes, the Bocca Ground Crumbles. This is a substitute for ground beef; which can be used in tacos, pasta, chili, and so much more.

This ground ‘beef’ is made from soy and therefore it is naturally low in fat while being high in protein and in fiber.

In fact, in one serving (57 grams) there is 60 calories, 0.5 grams of fat, 0 cholesterol, and 13 grams of protein.

Let’s compare that to 57 grams of lean 80/20 ground beef; which has 145 calories, 11.4 grams of fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, and 9.79 grams of protein.

I can’t wait to show you guys some great recipes in the weeks to come, so make sure that you pick up a bag next time you are at the store. (:
