Chipotle Chili with Avocado Sour Cream
You’d never guess this savory chili contains healthy wakame in it since it almost melts away while cooking, leaving only its minerals and detoxifying benefits behind. Like most good chilis, this recipe loves a nice, slow cook to allow the flavors to meld, but is definitely worth the wait. Makes 4 servings 6 cups chopped […]

Mango Chili Smoothie
Sweet and tropical with a hint of spice, the key to making this smoothie is using a chili powder made exclusively from red chiles—not one that’s a blend of other spices (like oregano and garlic), which offer too much of a savory flavor for smoothie purposes.
