    Vegan White Bean Cheezy Chili

    Vegan White Bean Cheezy Chili. Healthy, plant based, spicy and warming vegan chili for a cold day, with vegan cheese! #vegan #cheesy #chili

    Hello December and hello comfort food!

    There’s a reason we don’t make chili in the summer, and that’s because of it’s deliciously cozy and warm fuzzy feelings that we so desperately need in the cold months. Today I’m sharing a brand new winter recipe! My Vegan White Bean Cheezy Chili that’s as healthy as it is delectably tasty.

    I love a good white bean chili because it’s different and adds a yummy variety to my usual go-to chili recipes. Incorporating different types of beans (like great northern beans or cannelini beans) and veggies will provide your body with different vitamins and minerals, so it’s important to branch out and make sure your diet includes a little plant diversity!

    So yes, we are using great northern beans and cannelini beans but I also included turnips instead of white potatoes… don’t click away! You don’t have to use turnips – you could use any kind of potato, cauliflower or even a rutabaga (which is highly similar to a turnip), but because we’re on the topic of variety, maybe you ought to give turnips a try? A turnip is a root vegetable and the texture is oh-so-similar to a potato, but a little more crunchy, and with a significantly less amount of carbs than a white potato. It just depends what you want!

    Other than the green chiles and mouth-watering spices, we are adding some cheeziness to our chili, using Daiya pepperjack?shreds!

    This recipes doesn’t require adding the Daiya plant-based shreds, but I highly recommend it!?Now cheezier than ever, the new Daiya Shreds have more dairy-like flavor, texture and aroma but with the same stretch and melt as its original counterpart. Bold and flavorful, the Premium Cutting Board Collection is a delicious plant-based addition to your favorite cheezy recipes, including nachos, queso dip, pizza, and more. Available in Cheddar Style, Mozzarella Style and Pepperjack Style.?I chose pepperjack but I think cheddar would work amazing as well.

    People love comfort food. But often times, comfort foods aren?t very kind in return. So, whether it?s for allergies, health, environment, or something different entirely, it?s time people finally had comfort food that loves them back. Daiya recently launched its latest national campaign, ?Comfort Foods That Love You Back,? to highlight the benefits of its extensive line of great tasting comfort foods that are free of dairy, gluten and soy.

    Daiya will also be giving away 150 ?Boxes of Love,? the same talking box featured in the digital video, to fans who share the video on social media. Out of 150 winners, three will win a year?s worth of Daiya products! As an industry leader and one of the founding members of The Plant Based Foods Association, Daiya remains passionate about celebrating delicious food that is dairy, gluten and soy free. Its line of premium plant-based foods, like Burritos, Duets, Non-Dairy Frozen Desserts, Greek Yogurt Alternatives, Pizzas, Cheezecakes, Cream Cheeze Style Spreads, and wonderful cheese alternatives, including Blocks, Shreds, Slices and Cheeze Sauces, are available in the dairy case and freezer aisle. Daiya?s selection of deliciously plant-based foods can be found in more than 25,000 grocery stores in the U.S., including Whole Foods, Kroger, Safeway and Publix, as well as most natural food retailers.

    Vegan White Bean Cheesy Chili. Healthy, plant based, spicy and warming vegan chili for a cold day, topped with vegan cheese!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
    • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
    • 1 jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 medium-sized turnips, peeled and cubed (about 2 cups worth; can sub potatoes, cauliflower or rutabaga)
    • 1 large zucchini, cubed
    • 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
    • 1 15 ounce can organic sweet corn
    • 1 4 ounce can diced green chiles
    • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
    • 2 tablespoons tapioca starch + 2 tablespoons hot water (can sub arrowroot starch or cornstarch, to thicken)
    • 1 15 ounce can cannelini beans, drained and rinsed well
    • 1 15 ounce can great northern white beans, drained and rinsed well
    • 1 tablespoon oregano
    • 2 teaspoons cumin
    • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
    • 1 cup Daiya Cutting Board Collection Shreds in Pepperjack or Cheddar Style (or more, to taste)

    Instructions

    1. In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes or until fragrant and soft. Add in the jalapeño, garlic and a good pinch of sea salt and pepper. Cook 2-3 minutes.
    2. Stir in the turnips and zucchini and cook 4-7 minutes, to soften slightly. Next add in the tomatoes, corn, green chiles and vegetable broth. Bring to a low boil and then reduce heat to simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the turnips are tender.
    3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the tapioca starch with water until it’s smooth with no clumps. Pour it into the pot and mix. It will gradually help to thicken the chili.

      Love all your recipes! Could you do this in a slow cooker or instant pot? We’re getting our kitchen remodeled so that’s all I have.

      I made this last night and it’s sooo delicious! I made a few modifications..
      Instead of daiya, I just added a teaspoon of nutritional yeast to my personal serving and it was the perfect amount of cheesy flavor.
      I also added a tablespoon of sugar to the recipe, as I just couldn’t get the taste perfect.
      All in all, this recipe is amazing and I’m definitely planning on making several more batches 🙂

    Did your hair stop growing? Mine was stuck at the Did your hair stop growing?

Mine was stuck at the same length too for a while. But now I know your scalp is an extension of your skin and needs to be nourished and taken care of in order for healthy hair growth. The scalp ages 6x faster than the skin on your face 🤯 it needs love and care, too. Especially if you want length and strength.

My hair oil is unique and made of different botanicals, antioxidants, omegas and nutrients your scalp is craving. If your hair is struggling but you eat healthy, you may want to consider a hair oil to fill in the gaps. I’ve noticed new thickness and growth from it being nourished and fed nutrients from within. The SHINE is the most surprising part!!! It’s honestly jaw-dropping. It keeps getting better because it’s a LIQUID VITAMIN for all hair types.
 
Figuring out the right custom plan for you is key. I want to help customize a plan for you because everyone should experience these results.

And definitely my dream come true to be home with her all day. Never missing her much needed cuddle moments. I need her just as much as she needs me. Nothing else matters, really. I don’t need to be a girl boss or CEO of a company that separates us all day. I’m a mommy first and I sell shampoo, second. It’s actually the best of both worlds because I get to raise her and also have an income of my own.

If you’ve been yearning for something like this, there’s no better time. The holidays are coming!!!

    Are you chasing the new shiny object? There will Are you chasing the new shiny object?

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home! We all sell shampoo, we all want different things for our families and we all took a leap of faith in starting our beauty businesses. And we all started somewhere. Instead of chasing the newest ways to make money, it’s so much more authentic to share something you love and use daily 👄🧴🫧🧖‍♀️

You guys. This is a dream come true. Getting better hair (completely frizz free 🙂) and making an income. I love what I do and the best part is it’s all from my phone and with my baby by my side. No daycare or nanny, it’s all from my phone. Now you do have to put in time and work for it to work, but it’s such a blessing. I’m so grateful every single day.
