JBB Recipe of the Week:
just better.® Veggie Curry 

If you’re looking for a way to bring more vegetables and plant diversity to the table, a veggie curry is a great place to start.

Curry dishes bring together a wide range of vegetables, spices, and legumes into one comforting meal. Each ingredient brings its own unique nutrients, flavors, and textures, creating a dish that feels satisfying while delivering meaningful nutrition.

One of the great advantages of curry is flexibility. The vegetables can easily change depending on what’s in the fridge or what looks good at the market that week. That kind of variety helps support a diverse gut microbiome while keeping meals interesting.

Our just better.® Veggie Curry brings together colorful vegetables, warming spices, and creamy coconut milk for a balanced, plant-forward dish that works well for weeknight cooking or meal prep. 

Ingredient Highlight

Vegetables bring far more to the plate than color and flavor. They provide fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that support digestion, metabolic health, and overall wellness.

This curry includes a mix of vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, cauliflower, and spinach, each contributing different nutrients and plant compounds. 

The combination creates a dish rich in plant diversity that supports the gut microbiome and brings greater nutritional variety to everyday meals.

Spices also play an important role. Curry powder often contains turmeric, coriander, cumin, and ginger, ingredients that have long been used in traditional cuisines and contribute both flavor and beneficial plant compounds.

When vegetables, legumes, and spices come together in one dish, they create a meal that supports both flavor and nutrition. 

just better.® Veggie Curry Recipe

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 carrot, sliced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cups cauliflower florets
1 cup chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
1 can full-fat coconut milk
1 cup vegetable broth
½ cup just better.® prebiotic fiber
2 cups fresh spinach
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

Heat avocado oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Add onion and cook until softened, about 4–5 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add curry powder and turmeric, stirring to coat the onions and release the spices’ aroma.

Add carrots, bell pepper, cauliflower, and chickpeas. Stir to combine.

Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth. 

Add just better.® prebiotic fiber, stirring well to dissolve completely into the curry.

Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 12–15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted.

Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. 

Storage Tips

Leftover veggie curry stores well and often develops deeper flavor as the spices continue to mingle.

Allow the curry to cool before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to ensure even warming.

This curry can also be frozen for longer storage. Place cooled portions in freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat.

If the curry thickens slightly after chilling, add a small splash of vegetable broth or water while reheating to restore the desired consistency. 

Cooking and Baking with just better.® Prebiotic Fiber

Cooking with just better.® prebiotic fiber is a simple way to increase daily fiber intake while preparing the foods you already enjoy. Because it dissolves completely and does not change flavor or texture, it works well in a wide range of recipes from soups and sauces to baked goods and smoothies.
