Nothing says summer than a fresh bowl full of seasonal, fresh vegetables and healthy goodness. I love a good salad, or bowl, especially as the weather starts to heat up and I don’t want to have the oven or stove on. This Vegan Poke Bowl is a great easy-to-make lunch or dinner, and I can’t wait to share this recipe with you so you can whip it up at home.

🍲 Ingredients
Vegan Tuna – For this recipe, I used Good Catch Foods vegan tuna which is made from 100% plant-based ingredients. I’ve used this tuna before in other recipes, and I really love it because it’s so easy to just throw it into any recipe to add some flavour and a kick of protein. Normally you would see vegan poke bowls made with tofu, however, this is something different and adds that fishy taste that you usually would get in a regular (non-vegan) poke bowl. Good Catch Foods Plant-Based Tuna comes in a variety of different flavours (original, oil & herbs, or the Mediterranean), so you can really add the flavour you are craving when you make this.
👩🍳 How to Make
- Prepare all your bowl ingredients and set them aside.
- For the sauce, simply add the ingredients to a small bowl or jar and stir till well combined.
- For the tuna, simply add the ingredients to a small bowl or jar and stir till well combined. See notes.
- To assemble the bowl, begin by adding the rice, then veggies, herbs, sesame seeds, tuna and slather it all with that delicious sauce!
🪄 Tips and Tricks
- If you’re not vegan, substitute the vegan tuna with regular tuna
- Fill your bowls with your favorite toppings, don’t feel like you need to stick with only my list

🤔 Common Questions
A special 6-plant protein blend of peas, chickpeas, lentils, soy, fava beans and navy beans. This combo of legumes adds the protein, but also the texture you’d usually get in tuna. Mix that with the algae oil for the seafood flavour, and omega-3 DHA for the health benefits that fish usually provides, you have a well-rounded substitute that’s plant-based and delicious.
You can literally put whatever you want in a poke bowl but some things I like are cucumber, radish, avocado, sesame seeds, picked ginger, and more.
