I usually get 6 350kcal meals out of it. Other curry pastes are equally good and don't require the coconut milk, so you can use nicer veggies.

You can use Marigold vegetable bouillon powder spiced up with a bit of ginger and garlic and coriander if you've got some.<br /><br />I'm surprised you can get away with Thai Green curry, @reloved remnants.

I can't count the times I have staved of a proper snack attack with it. redbush, or rooibus, tea is my other hot drink, comes in a few flavours, Earl Grey included, loose or bag. Apart from that I search out anything that is strongly flavoured and throw it in with veggies, green thai curry is a favourite. Any shop bought paste will flavour a HUGE amount of veggies, 350kcals for a big bowl is average.Reloved Remnantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16971895751950600348noreply@blogger.com
