Vegetarian Thai Green Curry

This super simple Vegetarian Thai Green Curry has become and absolute favorite around here recently. It’s quick enough that you could make it on a weeknight, and holds up super well for leftovers.

The best thing about curry dishes like this one is that they are SO versatile. Add whatever veggies you like and scope out what’s in season and on sale. You can’t go wrong! The ingredient list may seem long at first glance, but trust me - this recipe does not require a ton of effort! To cut down on time, consider buying pre-chopped veggies. This meal is loaded with fiber, healthy fats (coconut milk!) and plant protein for a super satisfying veggie filled meal.
