Our low fat green curry is a great way to start your healthy journey. First of all, it's BIG on flavor. And let's be real, if it doesn't taste good, then who the heck cares about what's in it! The beautiful thing about eating whole food plant-based is that real food has so much to offer in regards to taste.
It's oil-free! We use water to saute the vegetables instead of oil. This reduces the fat and calories without compromising the taste. It's also gluten-free, so feel free to make this for your GF friends and family members.
This homemade green curry sauce is made with some of the best and liveliest superfoods, and together they make a stunning sauce. When you blend cilantro, pea tendrils, chili pepper, fresh ginger and garlic, lime juice, lemongrass, curry, cumin, coriander, and turmeric together, you know you're going to get something pretty awesome. It's so bright and fresh, and it's warm and savory at the same time. This is exactly what good curry sauce is supposed to taste like.
Add in the eggplant, red bell pepper, tofu, and coconut milk, well, now we're talking.

Oh yum! Will be trying this soon. I just know, though, that I def don't have access to pea tendrils. I can only imagine the access to veggies you have. Cheers and thank you!
Alex Meyer says
Hey Kellie! Thanks for posting! Pea tendrils were definitely something that we just happened upon and decided to include in the recipe for an added health boost! If you can't find any in your grocery store, feel free to leave them out or replace them with another green you enjoy! Let us know how the curry turns out for you!
