Red Lentil Curry

Red Lentil Curry

This is soooo grounding and delicious! I can’t believe I have never made this before… it’s so easy to make, but also feels really satisfying! I know it’s almost summer and curry may not feel like something that you want right now… but hear me out! I focus on gut health- and what you may not realize is that cold and raw foods are harder for our bodies to digest and can often cause discomfort if you struggle with a sensitive GI tract. So if you tend to reach for all the salads and smoothies as the weather starts to heat up, try to create a bit more balance by making sure to get in some warm, cooked foods as well. This dish is also loaded with gut friendly spices and herbs! Among many other health benefits, spices & herbs aid digestion, and soothe & strengthen the gut lining. So if you’re looking for something good for meal prep, a warming dish, or a meal to support your gut health- this is a fantastic meal!
