Slow Cooker Chickpea Coconut Curry — Under 400 Calories!

Posted by Mary Cox on April 18th, 2014

I came across this great recipe from www.fitsugar.com that I can't wait to try! Who doesn't love making dinner in a Slow Cooker? 

Craving a little comfort food that won't break the calorie bank? This dinner involves no cheese and no pizza dough, and I promise it's not deep-fried — but it is just as warm, savory, and satisfying! After one bite of this chickpea and sweet potato curry with coconut rice, you will be sold.

Each serving is about 400 calories, and because this recipe serves six, you can impress your friends with this bold yet easy-to-make dish or save the rest for tomorrow's lunch. This vegan and gluten-free recipe calls for spinach (for some added vitamins and fiber), but you can omit it if you're not a fan of greens in your curry.

Came across this awesome recipe from American Heart Association (so you know it's a goodie!) and it's just divine! Try it for yourself.
