    This low carb vegan chili with lupini beans is a hearty dish full of flavour. Low in carbs and high in protein this spicy chili is great for a cold evening.

    Easy Lupini Beans Recipe

    Traditional chili recipes have kidney beans but this keto vegetarian chili recipe uses lupini beans instead. Being a low carb vegetarian or vegan can be a challenge as most beans or legumes are too high in carbs. 

    Hemp seed hearts were added to this low carb vegan chili in place of any meat substitute.  I enjoy using them and they have a great nutritional value.  I also like how they looked in the chili without overpowering the taste of the spice. Cauliflower rice is also a good substitute.

    How to make a low carb vegan chili

    Chili recipes can vary with spices and vegetables so feel free to take this recipe as a base and add your own personal twist.

    I used lupini beans from a jar for ease of use but you will need to remove their skins before cooking. I found that they did not take on the taste of a chili like a kidney bean would but still played their part in a keto chili.

    Are lupini beans keto?

    Lupini beans are a great low carb substitute for beans and legumes in keto vegetarian cooking. The carb content seems to vary by brands. I used a brand called Flora which listed the net carbs at 1g per cup. Another bonus for the keto vegan & vegetarian is the protein content of this bean.
