This is a delicious weeknight dinner that is super easy to throw together and it has a little kick to it, which I love!
Ingredients:
- 2 tsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Shallot (chopped)
- 3 1/2 cups Water
- 2 cups Canned Coconut Milk
- 1 tbsp Thai Red Curry Paste
- 2 cups Brown Rice Penne
- 1/3 cup Dry Red Lentils (rinsed)
- 2 cups Broccoli (cut into florets)
- 1/2 Lemon (juiced)
- 2 cups Baby Spinach
Instructions:
- Add the oil to a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the shallots. Sauté until fragrant.
- Add the water and coconut milk and whisk in the red curry paste to combine it well. Then, add the penne, red lentils, and broccoli. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a low simmer. Simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.
- Stir in the lemon juice and baby spinach. Serve and enjoy!
Notes: this red curry paste is one that doesn’t have too many ‘bad’ ingredients, a lot of the ones in stores are NO. If you can’t find one that doesn’t have a bunch of added sugar you can do chili powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, garlic salt and some paprika - with a little bit of gluten-free soy sauce (TamarI).
This light, refreshing citrus treat is perfect for cooling you down even on the hottest summer days while satisfying that sweet tooth. With only a few ingredients, it’s simple to make and incredibly delicious!
This recipe makes two servings.
Ingredients:
4 cups frozen watermelon cubes
¾ cup whipped coconut cream, homemade or store bought
2 drops Lime Vitality
Simply blend it together and enjoy!
