The Shaka Bowl
Budget-friendly, healthy, and it fits your macros, what more could you ask for? Don’t get me wrong, if I could have fresh sushi or poke every day, I would, but unfortunately, my budget said no. The Shaka bowl is a pretty close second, and it’s become my hyper-fixation meal when I’m short on time.
Canned tuna is a cost-effective way to switch up your protein. Look for responsibly harvested tuna that’s been caught using pole and line, or troll-caught. Brands like Wild Planet are my go-tos, and they’re available at Costco!
Seaweed is high in iron and offers a little crunch to this meal.
Fun fact about rice, specifically white rice, if you let it cool or reheat it from leftovers, you’ll be giving the bacteria in your gut a good meal of prebiotics!
Feel free to add shredded carrots, edamame, avocado, or cucumber to customize the Shaka Bowl to your liking!
