This is the best white chili variation, and it is healthier than most. This won first prize at our company chili cook-off. The other contestants were mad when they learned how easy the recipe is and that I had prepared it an hour before the competition. I make a double batch and fill a gallon-sized zip-top bag and freeze for great leftovers.

Homemade Protein Powder
I've decided to make my own homemade protein powder after I tried many different protein powders, and kept running into the same issues: most are full of synthetic sweeteners, preservatives, and other artificial additives. Even after diluting them with water, they were still too sweet for me. Ultimately, I knew I wanted a protein powder with clean ingredients. At roughly $1.12 per serving, it's priced similarly to many mid-range protein powders on the market—but with far better ingredients and no unnecessary additions.
Shrimp Salsa
This is an awesomely simple, light, and refreshing salsa made with shrimp, ripe tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro that goes great with tortilla chips.
