What Makes This Recipe a Must-Try

This veg Thai green curry isn’t just about taste, it’s about eating smart without overthinking it.

You get the creaminess of coconut milk, fresh herbs, and crunchy vegetables all in one bowl. What really makes it different is the addition of Up It, which adds extra protein and fiber without changing the flavour.

Unlike regular curries that leave you hungry soon after, this one keeps you full and satisfied for longer. That makes it helpful for weight management, better appetite control, and steady energy levels.

Meals with good protein and fiber naturally improve satiety, reduce cravings, and support better blood sugar balance—key factors for long-term health.

How This Curry Becomes Protein-Rich

A typical Thai green curry is comforting, but usually low in protein, especially when it’s mostly vegetables and coconut milk.

This version improves that balance by adding protein and fiber, making it more filling and nutritionally complete.

That means:
• Better satiety
• Less unnecessary snacking
• Improved blood sugar response
• Support for overall metabolic health

One common issue with “healthy meals” is that they don’t keep you full. This curry solves that easily.

The vegetables add volume, coconut milk brings flavour, and the added protein and fiber help you stay satisfied for longer—making it a practical option for weight loss, blood sugar control, PCOS management, and everyday healthy eating.

 

For the Green Curry Paste:

• ½ cup fresh coriander leaves
• 3–4 green chillies
• 3–4 garlic cloves
• 1-inch ginger
• 1 small onion (chopped)
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ½ cup water
• 1 tsp jeera powder

 

For the Curry:

• 1 tbsp oil
• ½ cup broccoli (cut into florets)
• 1 cup bell peppers (sliced)
• 200 ml coconut milk
• Few fresh basil leaves
• 1 scoop Up It (Prolicious protein + fiber enhancer)
• Water as needed (for consistency)

How to Make this Vegetarian Green Thai Curry Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Green Paste

In a blender, add coriander, green chillies, garlic, ginger, onion, black pepper, salt, lemon juice, jeera powder, and water.

 

Blend everything until you get a smooth, vibrant green paste. Make sure there are no coarse bits left, as this paste forms the base flavor of your curry.

 Tip: Add water gradually while blending so the paste doesn’t become too thin. A slightly thick paste gives better flavor while cooking.

 

Step 2: Add Up It Boost

Now add 1 scoop of Prolicious Up It to the prepared paste and blend again until it mixes smoothly.

Make sure there are no lumps and the mixture looks uniform. This step helps enhance the nutritional value of the curry without affecting its taste or texture.

 

Step 3: Cook the Vegetables

Heat oil in a kadhai or pan over medium flame.

Add broccoli and bell peppers and sauté them for 2–3 minutes. Stir occasionally so they cook evenly while still retaining their natural color and crunch.

Don’t overcook the vegetables—Thai curry tastes best when the veggies have a slight bite and freshness.

Mix well and cook for 2–3 minutes so they stay slightly crunchy.

 

Step 4: Add the Prepared Paste

Add the prepared green paste (with Up It) to the pan.

Mix it well with the vegetables and sauté for 3–4 minutes. This helps cook out the raw flavors of the paste and enhances its aroma. You’ll notice the color deepening slightly as it cooks.

 

Step 5: Pour Coconut Milk

Now add coconut milk and mix gently to combine everything.

Reduce the flame, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer for 4–5 minutes. This allows the Flavors to blend together and gives the curry its creamy consistency..

 

Step 6: Final Simmer

Remove the lid and give the curry a gentle stir. Adjust the consistency by adding a little water if required.

Let it simmer for another minute, then turn off the heat.

Your rich, creamy Thai curry is now ready to serve!

 

Perfect Moments to Enjoy This

This curry fits into your day really easily. It works well as a light but filling lunch, and for dinner it’s comforting without feeling too heavy.

You can also mix things up by adding veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, or baby corn. It’s one of those meals that you can adjust based on what you have and what you feel like eating.

How to Serve It Best

To get the best experience, serve this curry hot and fresh.

It pairs beautifully with simple bases like steamed brown rice, quinoa, or even millets if you’re going for a Health Journey.

FAQs

1. Can I make Thai green curry without coconut milk?

Yes, you can substitute coconut milk with cashew paste or almond milk. However, coconut milk gives the authentic creamy texture and flavour that makes Thai curry unique. If you replace it, the taste will be slightly different but still delicious.

2. Is this Thai green curry good for weight loss?

Yes, this version is designed to support weight loss because it includes added protein and fiber. These nutrients improve satiety, reduce cravings, and help maintain stable blood sugar levels, which are key for sustainable weight management.

3. Can I store and reheat this curry?

Absolutely. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. While reheating, add a little water to adjust consistency and heat it on low flame to maintain texture and flavour.

4. What protein options can I add besides Up It?

You can add tofu, paneer, chickpeas, or even edamame. These options blend well with Thai flavours and further increase the protein content of the dish.
