Healthy Green Curry Bowl

This green curry sweet potato bowl is like a hug. You could certainly use any root vegetable in this recipe, but I like sweet potatoes because they’re surprisingly healthy (I know you’re thinking they might be starch bombs!).

In fact, sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamin A and C, they’re an anti-inflammatory food, and they don’t spike blood sugar because they’re a slow-moving starch (source). They are also super versatile - like how I used them in this avocado sweet potato toast recipe.

This recipe does have a good amount of fat in it (hello, coconut milk) and carbs (hello, rice!), but it’s perfect for a chilly day when you need a comforting bowl of food that’s still health-conscious.

Tips for Making this Sweet Potato Bowl

For this recipe, I used 365 Organic Coconut Milk, Thai Kitchen Green Curry Paste, and 365 Organic Jasmine Rice.

If you don’t have a sweet potato, you can substitute another root vegetable. I also think this recipe would be good with brussels sprouts. Let me know if you make a substitution and how it went!
