It’s no surprise why the poke bowl has ascended so quickly in popularity to become one of the most popular food items. Arriving on the mainland by way of Hawaii, the poke bowl has managed to do the impossible, take the convenience and streamlined production commonly associated with fast food, but do so with fresh ingredients that help promote a healthy lifestyle for those who are constantly on the go. As with any item that’s achieved both notoriety and praise, there are bound to be a few skeptics who wonder if the poke bowl is really as healthy as its supporters claim it is. Today, we reinforce its virtues and attributes.
A Fresh Start to Healthier Living
One of the best things about the poke bowl is that it’s made from fresh ingredients. The benefits of utilizing fresh ingredients are that they don’t have the unhealthy preservatives and large amounts of sodium found in typical fast food offerings. For millions of Americans who suffer from celiac disease, the inclusion of brown rice and our spring vegetable mix provides a gluten-free base, which is complimented by our soy sauces, which are also gluten-free.
Protein-a-Plenty
Most nutritionists and diet experts attest to the importance of protein in a daily diet. While everyone has their own preference for their source, the poke bowls served up at Island Fin Poke are all very beneficial for a healthy lifestyle. The most common protein choices for the poke bowl are salmon and ahi tuna. Both of these are low in fat and have high concentrations of protein. Tofu can be substituted if you abstain from meat altogether.
Owner of a Healthy Heart
Aside from fresh ingredients and a choice selection of proteins, the poke bowl is one of the best choices for those who are looking to keep their heart healthy. The poke bowl is low in calories, and by implementing a healthy dose of fish, your heart will benefit from the strong presence of Omega-3s. These are fatty acids that help regulate cholesterol and reduce inflammation. With the American Heart Association recommending two to three servings of fish a week, the poke bowl is the perfect meal to keep your heart going strong.
