This meal is big food, smart food, quick, easy, and yummy food, and best of all… super methylating food! (See page 281 in THW for why methylation is so important as we age.) Since you’re using primarily cauli-rice as the base here, this gives more room to get all the E carbs from lentils. You get a nice big hearty portion of methylating lentils over your bed of cauli-rice while still protecting your blood sugar from carb and calorie overload (that happens when people shove lots of beans or lentils and regular rice together). But if you do miss actual rice in this, add a couple of tablespoons of it to the cauli-rice, and that little bit helps the texture quite a bit.
The big beauty of this recipe for Drive Thru Sue’s is that it calls for canned lentils. Canned lentils can be gentler on the tummy gas-wise for some people than home-cooked. One (15-ounce) can makes two servings of the curry, so you won’t have to waste. Put ½ of the curry on your rice bowl, then the other 1/2 goes in the fridge and will be ready for you to repeat this meal another time during the week. Or you can put the other serving over salad or thin it into a soup for another meal. Of course, you can feel free to cook lentils from scratch if you prefer. If so, to make one serving of curry, take out ¾ - 1 cup of the lentils and simply halve the rest of the ingredients listed for the 2 servings of curry below.

You are mostly covered here for Protein Nerd Level 3 if you add the garnish amount of chicken. Still, if you’re like Serene and are extra nerdy about protein bioavailability, lentils may not quite provide you with enough, even with including the small amount of chicken. In that case, you still might want to have a half serving of TH ESSENTIAL on the side, just to be sure. (P – I don’t sweat it and feel no need to add.) If you do not choose to add the chicken, including a half serving of TH ESSENTIAL or your choice of one of our Optimized Protein Powders, or close to a full serving of TH Optimized Collagen on the side would be even more important.
