Three Bean and Tempeh Chili

FIBER FIBER FIBER is the theme for 2024 and the rest of our lives. This three beans and tempeh chili is packed with fiber in every bite. Each serving has about 22 grams of fiber, which is nearly the daily recommended intake for women per day! The recommended intake for women is 25 grams per day, and 38 grams for men.
