This high-fiber vegan quinoa black bean chili is a nutrient-dense meal that’s perfect for weekend batch cooking. It makes a large pot—freeze portions for later and store the rest in individual containers for easy meals throughout the week. Quinoa adds plant-based protein, black beans provide fiber to support digestive and metabolic balance, and sweet potatoes contribute antioxidants and complex carbohydrates for steady energy. Serve with sliced avocado, a squeeze of lime, thinly sliced chili peppers, and plenty of fresh cilantro for a simple, satisfying bowl.
