Thai Coconut Tofu Curry
OH HECK YES, THE most PERFECT WINTER MEAL
This recipe has been adapted from a chicken red curry by Damn Delicious and it is delicious. Modify based on how you choose to eat. It’s warming, has some kick and so nourishing for the current weather. I love taking meat recipes and making them my own.
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon avocado oil or coconut oil, I use Naked Coconuts
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
organic firm tofu, half a bag into chunks
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 onion or shallot, diced
3 tablespoons red curry paste
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
6 cups low sodium veggie broth or homemade
1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk, I use Everland
1/2 (8-ounce) package rice noodles
splash of maple syrup if you want sweetness to balance
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Choose organic when possible for ingredients
DIRECTIONS
Heat oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped smoked chunks and stir fry until crispy. Remove from heat and place in bowl.
Add garlic, bell pepper and onion to the original pot now that tofu has been removed. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in red curry paste and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in veggie broth and coconut milk, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced, about 10 minutes.
Option to blend broth, we blend about 75%-80% of it
Stir in rice noodles, splash of maple syrup until noodles are tender, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in green onions, cilantro, basil and lime juice; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Add to serving bowl, top with tofu. Serve immediately, keeps for leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Enjoy, Jordan

My take as a nutritionist on Reese Witherspoon’s viral green smoothie. It’s so good and doesn’t take long to make.
My go to salad dressing! So versatile and delicous made with ingredients you probably have at home.

High protein and filled with healthy unsaturated fats, these make great snacks for adults on the go. My child also loves them made with cacao instead of protein powder. Great to avoid feeling anxious or irritated from skipping a meal. All the benefits of ingredients are listed along with the recipe.
I literally crave this dessert and it’s made from chickpeas! The peanut butter increases the protein content and I list all the benefits of eating beans.
This is the best cake I’ve ever eaten! Plus, the ingredients are amazing. All nutritious whole foods without any oils, gluten or dairy.
These have the best creamy texture and they’re loaded with protein and fat to keep blood sugars more balanced when eating something sweeter!
