Poke Bowls for the Summer!

I love poke bowls! I especially love them during the REALLY hot summer months here in Bahrain. I love that they’re light, delicious and have an almost cooling effect on the body. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me.

So when Reviive Cafe wanted me to reimagine their poke bowls, I knew exactly what I wanted to introduce. Well, not really. We experimented with a few flavors (one didn’t make the cut) but these 3 that are launching TODAY, June 1st and running all the way through until the end of the month are some of my go to poke bowl recipes. BONUS: I can’t live without Passion Fruit Ice Tea! Pair that with the poke bowl and I swear its a lunch or dinner made in heaven!

For the first of the 3 poke bowls we have…drumroll please…The California Sushi Bowl!

What it is, is essentially a deconstructed sushi bowl, with the typical flavors of the California roll that you know and love (minus the fish roe). It has a yummy spicy crabstick sriracha mayo mixture with a generous helping of avocados, edamame, pickled ginger and cucumbers, nori and sesame seeds for that authentic touch. Mix and match for your perfect bite! They all sit on top of lightly vinegared sushi rice just waiting to be savoured.

Next up we have the Tropical Salmon Bowl. This is a party you want to be invited to! I love love love Salmon and Mango together! I always ask for extra mangos hahaha. The salty sweet combo is perfection. Paired with a savory Miso Sesame dressing that I just want to slather on everything…(which you’ll see that I do in the next bowl too). Edamame and avocados are joining too, and some spring onion for zesty-ness and gossip. After all, a good party always has some drama. Oh yes, and coconut rice just RSVP’d too!

For the last (but not least) bowl in our Summer Collab, we present to you the Miso Chicken Bowl. You can’t escape this miso sesame dressing, I really want you guys to try it. This is the less carby option with half regular rice and half spinach, we topped it off with creamy Miso chicken, mushrooms, avocado (can’t have enough), Miso eggplant (yes I told you id slather it on everything), broccoli, house-made pickled onion (best condiment EVER) and some sunflower seeds & fried onions for that CRUNCH. This is a not so guilty pleasure bowl!
