Thai Larb

By

PrimalLarb can be a delicious low-carb choice from the menu of a Thai restaurant. It can also be a quick and easy meal to make at home. In this Primal larb recipe, fish sauce brings salty umami flavor and slightly sweet coconut aminos stand in for sugar. A squeeze of lime, a chopped hot chile (or dash of Sriracha sauce), and loads of fresh herbs make this “meat salad” an addictive meal.

Lucikly, larb addiction is nothing to worry about. High in protein from the ground meat and high in antioxidants from the herbs and hot chile, larb has plenty going for it. Spoon the meat into lettuce leaves, or just throw it into a bowl with baby greens. Either way, it’s a quick, easy, hugely flavorful meal.

Time in the Kitchen: 20 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Primal

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil (15 ml)
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 pound ground pork, chicken or turkey (450 g)
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos (30 ml)
  • 1 Thai chile, or other hot chile, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, plus lime wedges for garnish (15 ml)
  • ½ cup torn Thai basil leaves (or, regular basil) (120 ml)
  • ¼ cup mint leaves (60 ml)
  • ¼ cup cilantro leaves (60 ml)

Instructions

Primal

Heat oil over medium heat and add shallot. Cook 3 minutes, then add garlic. Cook 1 minute more.

Turn heat up to medium high. Add ground meat. Break the meat up into tiny pieces as it cooks. When the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes, add the fish sauce and coconut aminos. Cook 2 minutes more, or until meat is fully cooked.

In a large bowl, toss meat with Thai chile, lime juice and herbs. Serve with lime wedges and large lettuce leaves. Scoop the meat into lettuce leaves before eating, or serve in a bowl with salad greens.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
