Hawaiian Sweetpotato Poke Bowls
Developed by Roxana Ehsani, MS, RD, CSSD, LDN, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Board-Certified Sports Dietitian.Poke bowls are versatile, colorful, and oh-so-nutritious. We love adding sweetpotatoes because they bring bright, beautiful color, natural sweetness, and a nutritious boost. This bowl combines sushi-grade ahi tuna, roasted @ncsweetpotatoes, creamy avocado, shelled edamame, and crunchy cucumbers over hearty brown rice. Top it off with spicy mayo (if you dare!) and sesame seeds for extra flavor. Reminder: Raw fish isn’t recommended for those who are pregnant, immunocompromised, or young children — swap in cooked tuna or salmon instead!
