    >This was [SUCH a good chili recipe](https://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-vegan-chili-254872). My changes – used 0 cal sweetener instead of molasses (added sweetener at the end of cooking). Added 174 grams of Gardein beefless ground to increase protein. I cooked my lentils seperately and then added them toward the end. Also, did not use 2 T oil, only spray oil (cals included). All spice calories were counted. Used Better than Bouillon no-chicken for my broth (3 tsp bouillon added to 3.5 c water). Entire recipe the way I made it was 11 cups. 1 cup is pictured in photo. saltine cals are also included in total

    >The cheeze on the broccoli was sliced up Follow your Heart American (I prefer this to the shreds). Covered everything in the microwave to get it melty.

    Note – when I make this I use Violife cheddar. I don’t think Violife was around three years ago when this was originally posted? FYI, the Follow Your Heart Shreds have been reformulated and are melty and taste really good now. Vegan friendly cheeses have come so far in the last few years.

    The thekitchn.com chili recipe is perfect, just the right sweet and salt and the cocoa powder is nice, but really you can get away with less or none. Also I use Beyond meat instead of the Gardein. The Gardein is lower calorie, but the Beyond is my preference for taste.
