Kefir. Don't stay away from this one because you don't know what it is. It's a lot like yogurt- it is a tangy cultured milk that is high in protein, calcium, vitamin D, as well as many other added benefits. Meaning it's actually good for you! This probiotic drink is a great substitute to your standard non-dairy milks or yogurt based ingredients. If you are vegan, Lifeway also has plant based probiotic drinks that are perfect dairy free options. My husband actually decided to try all of them and voted his favorite is the Plantiful Probiotic drink in the tropical fruit flavor. This one can be enjoyed on its own or added to any of your favorite smoothie recipes. Lifeway Kefir products available for purchase at Sprouts Farmers Market, Walmart Supercenter, and Safeway. RUN don't walk!

1. Sauté onions, ginger, garlic with tbs coconut oil or vegetable oil on a medium heat.
2. Start rice instructions. I use a rice cooker and it's so easy! I recommend a smaller rice cooker because there is really no need to have that much rice. A little goes a long way!
3. Meanwhile, cut broccoli florets, drizzle with vegetable oil, and top with salt and pepper. Bake at 375 for the remainder of the time (about 15 min).
4. Add chopped red bell pepper, chicken, curry powder. Cook chicken through.
5. Add Thai curry paste and mix ingredients. Add more if desired.  
6. Combine can of coconut milk and let boil for a few min before bringing down to a simmer. Add salt if needed.
7. While the food is simmering, start cutting garnishes: cilantro, green onion, limes, red cabbage
8. Finally, check on your broccoli to make sure it is cooked. Then add salt and pepper to curry mixture. 
9. Assemble your dish how you like it and enjoy! Personally, I like plenty of lime. 

In the past people have used coconut oil for this, but coconut oil is actually comedogenic. This just means that it clogs your pores and causes more breakouts. Hemp oil is non-comedogenic, it rates a zero out of 5 on the scale. In fact, it helps skin by unclogging pores and prevents break outs by balancing sebum production, which is commonly found in hormonal acne.

Instructions:

1. Start cooking rice. I have a rice cooker and if I make for one it only requires a 2 to 1 ratio one serving.

4. When the rice is done, add green onion and red wine vinegar. Mix well.
