Looking For a New Way to Enjoy Seafood?

You can thank the fishermen in ancient Hawaii for the invention of the delectable poke bowl. You know we are. At Timoti’s, we value all of the unique ways seafood can be transformed into delicious, health-conscious dishes. Poke bowls are no exception. With so many ways to make and so many benefits, it’s nearly impossible to get bored.

This article will not only make you want to try a poke bowl, but you may also discover your ideal combination!

1. Make It Sweet or Make It Savory

There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to the poke bowl. As long as you have some sort of base, protein, sauce, and a topping or two, you have yourself a delicious snack. Start your bowl off with some sushi rice, brown rice, or mixed greens and select one (or more) delicious raw fish for protein.

You can sweeten your bowl by adding mango or pineapple, or you can load your bowl with extra vegetables and protein. We recommend sprinkling some sesame seeds onto your poke bowl for a hint of crunch. At Timoti’s, our black sesame seeds are at the heart of our poke bowl recipe, and with no extra cost applied!

2. Say Hello to Smooth & Silky Skin

Did you know that poke bowls not only taste fantastic, but they also benefit your skin? Crazy, right? Turns out, the combination of fatty fish, vegetables. Healthy fats help improve acne as well as support skin hydration. You’ll never have to worry about bumpy textured skin again as long as you’re enjoying poke bowls.

3. Sushi By Itself Isn’t Always Filling

Have you ever gone to an Asian restaurant, ordered a plate of sushi, and continued to feel hungry afterwards? We’ve all been there. Poke bowls are the perfect alternative dish for all sushi lovers. This satisfying dish provides a healthy blend of protein and fiber, a combination that both promotes fullness and is essential for your well-being.

4. A Post-Workout Pleasure

Workouts feel good and are good for you. However, such gym activities are known to microscopically tear muscles, deplete essential glycogen stores, and throw off hydration levels. While your body is in a state of recovery, consuming lean protein is essential. Poke bowls will do the trick. They’re quick to eat, easy to make, and offer a balanced powerhouse of protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats.

5. Give Your Gut Some Love

Because poke bowls are so versatile, you can customize your poke bowl with key ingredients that best support gut health. Some ingredients to look out for include whole-grain bases, fermented toppings such as kimchi, and healthy fats such as avocado or salmon. Top your bowl with a colorful variety of fresh vegetables, and you have the perfect gut-supportive snack.

6. Little Fat But Packed With Protein

Poke bowls are an ideal treat for those seeking weight loss. This snack is lean in protein and fiber, which promotes fullness without consuming unhealthy fats. Health-conscious individuals have options of choosing a low-carb base and low-calorie ingredients to ensure that their efforts of eating healthier are not going to waste.

7. Consume Essential Veggies In a Delicious Package

Vegetable consumption is essential for boosting the immune system and supporting overall health. We all know that consuming vegetables by itself isn’t always the most appetizing. Mixing vegetables with sauces such as Ponzu, Soy Sauce, and Spicy Mayo supplies boldness to your poke bowl, making vegetables easier to eat and adding a tastier flavor.
