I have always loved poke bowls, but I'd be lying if I said they're on the less-expensive side to make (and even more expensive to purchase already made!) HOWEVER.. before you start to break your budget, let's consider an alternative ..
When it comes to poke bowls, the most expensive portion that will usually break the budget is the PROTEIN! Thriving off of needing quality protein to make the dish POP, it's super easy to fall into the trap of buying that sashimi-grade kingfish or expensive pulled meats. But why not tuna? And no I'm not talking about those expensive cuts that you need to go to a fish market for.. I'm talking about a subtly-flavoured tin of tuna!
If you haven't tried it before, you ABSOLUTELY should.. you'd be so surprised at how tasty it is!!
