Turkey Chili- Fixate Cookbook

If you've struggled with healthy eating or if you've hit a plateau with your current fitness routine, I highly recommend The 21 Day Fix!  This is a revolutionar, yet surprisingly simple, meal plan and fitness program.  I went into this program not knowing what to expect.  I was reaching the end of my weight loss journey and honestly didn't know what kind of results I would have.  I am so happy to say that I lost a total of 5 pounds and 5 total body inches.  The workouts are 30 minutes and each workout targets something different so you and your muscles don't get bored.
Here is a recipe from the FIXATE cookbook that I love.  I've made this turkey chili twice now and always freeze it in my Fitpacker containers so that I have an easy lunch to grab.  The recipe says it makes 8 servings, but I've only been able to get 6 servings from a batch.  The taste is a little interesting and unlike most traditional chili recipes, but it's grown on me and I really like it now!
