Island Poke Bowl
Tuna, Avocado And Edamame Poke Recipe
Melissa says: "I hope that this poke bowl inspires you to develop your own poke bowl once you've learnt about the bowl basics. It has a healthy fat, a protein, a grain, greens and a few different pops of flavour such as seaweed and mango. If you adopt these simple principles, the flavour combinations are endless."

Health tip:
Edamame beans are an excellent plant-based protein and are high in calcium and iron. Visit your local Asian supermarket if you can't find them at the grocery store. They add the perfect pop
of colour and crunch to a meal.
