Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl with Mango and Avocado
Sesame-soy marinated ahi tuna over brown rice with mango, avocado, and cucumber for a fresh, protein-rich island bowl.

Poke started as a simple Hawaiian fisherman's snack — cubed raw fish tossed with whatever was on hand — and has since become a full meal in its own right. Sushi-grade ahi tuna gets a short marinade in soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar, just enough time to pick up flavor without curing the texture the way a longer soak would.
Piled over brown rice with sweet mango, creamy avocado, and crisp cucumber, this bowl balances lean protein against healthy fats and a little natural sweetness. Made with tamari instead of regular soy sauce, it's naturally gluten-free, and with 30 grams of protein per serving it holds up well as a genuinely filling lunch rather than something you'll be hungry again from in an hour.
