Keto Chilli

A simple, easy recipe with normal ingredients — nothing too fancy, because nobody needs the extra stress of hunting down the latest food fad ingredient.

So, what's your go-to comfort food?

One of mine is chilli. It's warming, filling, and endlessly satisfying — and this keto version is packed with protein and flavour without a single bean in sight.

The secret is in the spice blend. And finishing it in the oven. Trust me on that one. 🌶️

The keto bit — don't skip this 👇

On its own this chilli is low carb but light on fat, so boost it up with one of these combos:

🥑 Whole food focus — ½ avocado + 30g sour cream 🧀 Creamy & satisfying — 30g sour cream + 30g grated cheddar 💪 Maximum keto — 60g sour cream + 30g cheddar

Getting that fat ratio right is what keeps you full, fuels your brain, and stops the cravings in their tracks. That's the keto magic right there.
