Looking for a delicious recipe to help you include more plant-based protein?

These Red Thai Curry-style Butter Beans are one of my favourites! Not only is this recipe delicious, but its also jam-packed with nutrition. Beans are an excellent source of fibre to help digestion and keep you feeling full for longer. They also pack a plant-based protein punch and an array of micronutrients, including iron, potassium, magnesium, and folate, all of which contribute to overall well-being.
