Coconut & Chickpea Curry

This creamy vegan curry is one of the best meat free curries we’ve ever tasted and it’s full of hearty and healthy ingredients.

  • The iron, calcium, and other nutrients in chickpeas can all contribute to healthy bone structure and strength.
  • Coconut milk nutrition contains beneficial fat called lauric acid. Lauric acid is a medium-chain fatty acid that’s easily absorbed and used by the body for energy. It also provides electrolytes and supports energy production.
  • Cumin supports healthy digestion, and contains a surprising high level of iron.
