When I visited Porto last month, the best place where I had dinner was at a Hawaii-themed cozy restaurant called Fixebowl. This was the first time I ate a poke bowl, and I instantly fell in love - it was also the first time I tried edamame and now it’s an addiction. In in case you don’t know, a poke bowl is a traditional Hawaiian dish, whose modern adaptation is usually served with a base of rice or quinoa, topped with raw fish and and a wide variety of other ingredients such as vegetables, fruit, and mushrooms, as well as a sauce of choice.
Poke bowls are perfect for hot summer days and are really customizable, so I have been making loads of poke bowls at home. In this post, which I will be continually updating (just so I don't create a million posts for each poke bowl), I will share some of my poke bowl combos that I think worked best.
Be creative, and enjoy!

This one is so incredibly fresh. It was with this poke bowl that I realized how yummy it is if you mix grated carrot with quinoa - I've been doing it constantly ever since.
Base: quinoa & fresh spinach leaves
Fillings: red & green bell pepper, broccoli (slightly steamed to preserve the crunchiness), grated carrot, cucumber, asparagus
Topping: edamame beans
Sauce: A cheesy cashew sauce I made (follow link for recipe)
