Healing Thai Peanut Coconut Curry
This recipe is probably my favorite of recent months - it’s insanely nourishing, satiating, and delicious. And the best part, it’s made solely from amazing anti-inflammatory nutrients found in plants. It’s also perfect for this time of year, as we slowly transition into the warmer months.
As the seasons begin to change, it’s incredibly important to focus on keeping our immune system’s strong. With all of the excitement of longer days with more sunshine comes the not-so-exciting reality of our tendency to get sick. In the spring when allergies are so common, our immune health is something to be especially mindful of.
Which is where this curry comes into the picture. It’s made all in one pot, with immune boosting and anti-inflammatory ingredients, and is seriously so good. It can also easily be customized to accommodate for your specific dietary needs and preferences, I typically use whatever vegetables I have on hand along with sunflower seed butter. But regardless of what you choose to use, you will not be disappointed.
So, nourish your body in the tastiest way and make this curry!
