You don't need to spend a fortune on fancy poke bowls for takeout. You can do this at home, and it's much cheaper. Plus you can customize the ingredients as you see fit. Skip the canned tuna and upgrade one of summer's coolest dishes into the best Tuna Poke Bowl Meal Prep you have ever had! It's filled with fresh tuna, avocado, whole grain rice, and our favorite add-ins, such as mango, nuts, seeds, and onions for a well-balanced meal. It's super filling, more so than a sushi roll, even our easy avocado and mango sushi roll.
Poke bowls are so simple to assemble, full of fresh flavors, and have unbelievable macros! Sounds like it's time to grab our avocado!
Fresh tuna is marinated in some delicious ingredients (including coconut aminos and brown rice vinegar). Then, toss it with cubed mango, and add whatever else you want—rice or noodles, chopped nuts, avocado, spinach, green onion, and more. The whole point of this dish is that it's highly customizable.
In short, this isn't the tuna you get out of a can. It's the kind of tuna that is of the highest quality and therefore tuna that you can eat raw, like sushi. (It's an unregulated term but one widely used.) Now, keep in mind it's not "raw" per se because the marinade does a good job of introducing acid into the situation in the form of the vinegar. In food science terms, it denatures the proteins in the fish, which is what happens when you heat and cook an animal protein. The acidic environment that's created makes it safe to eat the fish. (Have you ever had ceviche? Same idea.) This is what you want for your poke bowl meal prep.
Ask at the fish counter at the grocery store (or your fishmonger) if the tuna they sell is safe to eat raw. In general, sushi-grade fish will have a vibrant color and no smell. (All fresh fish has no smell!) And check the label if it's already shrink-wrapped at the store; it may indicate "sushi grade."
If you're completely freaked out by the idea of eating raw fish, feel free to quickly pan-sear the tuna on both sides before cutting it. This will help reduce the risk of any potential microbial contamination.
Once prepped, these poke bowls will keep for a few days. They're great to prep for lunch and they'll keep you full until dinner.
We don't recommend freezing a dish like this.
