Bulk Meal Prep On A Budget – Chilli Con Carne

 

We all want to make progress and gains in fitness and sometimes, it can be very expensive but there’s no need to eat plain bland food because you think it will cost the earth, the below recipe will taste just as good as any other chilli con carne, if not better! And what’s more, it will be miles cheaper than any other, especially over ready meals and take away ones!

 

 

The macros are amazing and it will also make roughly 8 servings, so ideal for a week and a bits meal prep or a fitness come dine with me (if you’re into that sort of thing). You can also freeze it and cook it straight from frozen. Need any boxes for it to tick??
