After beating Stage 2 cancer, I started looking at food differently-not just what am l eating? but what is this meal giving my body? And this chili DELIVERS. 🍅Crushed tomatoes → loaded with lycopene + antioxidants 🧄Garlic + onions → packed with protective sulfur compounds 🥩Quality protein → supports muscle, repair + immune function 🫘Beans → fiber to feed the gut + support healthy blood sugar And my SECRET ingredient? CACAO. Yep-CACAO in chili! It adds this incredible richness AND it's packed with polyphenols, powerful plant compounds that support antioxidant defenses and help protect our cells from oxidative stress. One bowl = protein + fiber + plants + SO many protective nutrients. And the best part? My entire family loves it. 🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲 #food #recipesoftiktok #healthy #comfortfood #soup
