Sorry the pic didn't come out too well (I was in a hurry this morning \ud83d\ude11).  Stir your chili and ladle portions over your rice or quinoa. Let cool and store in fridge for meals throughout the week

Another healthy tip is to use hot sauce or siracha if you need extra flavor. Not only are these low calorie, they also help speed your metabolism!
