Notes
Calories are approximate, depends on the beans, the actual size of the veggies, etc.
This is a high-protein meal that has relatively low carbs. It has approximately 14 g of protein per portion
Do not add more pea protein, seriously... the taste is not great after more than one scoop!
If you do not like pea protein, perhaps try with hemp protein, I find it equally delicious! but some might feel it a bit sweet!
Careful with the chilies, I like it even more hot, I add around 9 chilies, but I am Mexican!
