Poke Bowls

Poke Poke Poke!!!

I love poke. I could write a 50 page paper on poke and my love for it. I was first introduced to it from my boyfriend who has shown me all sorts of different foods like ramen houses, Korean bbq and pancit (Filipino dish). Originating from Hawaii poke bowls are fresh ingredients, super delicious, in my opinion and really healthy. That is also if you don't load it up with spicy mayo and all the other fun toppings. 

My first experience having poke changed my life. It's like a sushi roll in bowl form. And what's even better that its like Chipotle. You get on line, choose what how you like your bowl, customize it and you're ready to eat! Typical ingredients you can expect are the following:
-salmon       -seaweed salad 
-tuna            -crab meat 
-edamame   -kani salad
-rice              -cucumbers

What I find to be a great option is you could create your bowl to be basically carb free. You can choose salad, quinoa or rice as your base and build it up from there. The sauces vary from soy sauce to mizu to ginger to just about anything you can think of. For a healthy lunch or dinner this is always my go to when I want something fresh and quick. Gone are the days of fast food and trying to pick their "healthiest" items just because its quick and easy.
