A food that I\u2019ve really come to love in recent years is poke. For me, it\u2019s just like sushi but \u201cspoken in my language\u201d \u2013 a bowl. A random tidbit about me: I eat the majority of my meals standing up at the kitchen counter and like to eat out of bowl so I can mix everything together (unless it\u2019s something crispy or sweet, then I strangely hate it when the food touches lol). Back to poke\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I love about poke is that it is nutrient dense, full of lean protein, complex carbohydrates (depending on the rice you choose) and packed with healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids. What I dislike most about it is the price. Usually it\u2019s about $15 for a bowl that includes about 4oz of sushi grade fish that\u2019s smothered in a fatty sauce. That\u2019s quite pricey when you think about the cost of fish per pound. Almost every weekend I\u2019d shovel out at least $15 \u2013 $20 to enjoy my favorite treat meal (that undoubtedly left me hungry in about 1 hour). It never occurred to me that I could make this at home for a fraction of the cost. In fact, when I did the math, it was over 50% cheaper AND even more nutrient dense because I could determine what went into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t think anyone should be deprived the goodness that is poke, so here are my tips and tricks to creating an amazing poke abundance bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
