I adore the combination of flavours in this chilli from Eat Yourself Fit (ā‚¬19.99), which include cajun spices, coriander, cumin, smoked paprika and a little pinch of cayenne pepper to give it a little bit of bite, plus cayenne pepper is known to help boost your metabolism.

Black beans are a super source of protein, with 10.6g per serving. I love this chilli served hot over a baked sweet potato, for a hearty, healthy and filling good mood meal packed with protein, complex carbs and fibre. The beta-carotene found naturally in sweet potato gives it that vibrant orange colour and also helps to support healthy, youthful skin. Exactly what many of us need in the cooler autumn and winter months šŸ™‚

It’s proper feel-good fitness and beauty food!
