CategoryLight MealsDifficultyBeginner

Sushi boasts protein with heart-healthy fats, cooled rice that’s higher in resistant starch (lowered GI) and vegetables, however, per piece of sushi, the ratio of rice to protein and veg is often disproportionate. For these reasons, a sushi bowl becomes a healthier alternative to ‘per piece’ sushi as the ratios of these ingredients is altered to represent a more balanced meal. Packed with raw vegetables, avocadoes boasting healthy fat, lean protein, and sufficient rice, this meal is complete and can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.
